Morphing structures that can smoothly change shape and maintain a new posture without energy input are exceedingly rare in Engineering - most require constant energy flow simply to maintain posture. This book starts from a practical question in aviation: how can cables be secured more simply inside an aircraft cabin? The author looks for the answer in the starfish. Its skeleton is built from thousands of small calcite plates, linked by muscles and adaptable connective tissue. This lets the animal change its shape continuously, hold any position without effort, and carry loads at the same time. Following a biomimetic design process, this book demonstrates how biological principles from the starfish skeleton can be transferred to Engineering. The result is a new class of morphing structures that are cost-effective, easy-to-manufacture, capable of smooth shape changes and able to hold their position without consuming energy.

The energy transition requires more than the expansion of renewable energy sources. It also demands innovative solutions to ensure a secure, reliable, and stable energy supply. While essential ancillary services are still largely provided by conventional power plants, the associated CO2 emissions are often overlooked in energy system planning. This work presents an innovative approach for designing CO2-minimized energy systems by jointly considering electricity, gas, and heating networks. At its core is a novel simulation and optimization framework that integrates climate protection, grid stability, and security of supply. Particular attention is given to balancing services and the role of flexible industrial processes as valuable sources of system flexibility. Through a series of practical case studies, this contribution demonstrates how integrated multi-energy systems can be planned and operated more sustainably. It provides valuable insights and a forward-looking planning tool for grid operators, energy providers, researchers, and decision-makers shaping the future of energy infrastructure.
