My research
I specialise in the design of 100 % Renewable Energy Systems and the transition from current systems towards such systems from both a technical and economic perspective. I focus my research on Smart Energy Systems and large-scale integration of fluctuating renewable resources (e.g. wind power). Sector integration and identifying synergies in all parts of the energy and transport system for feasible storage and management of intermittent resources are key (e.g. Heat Roadmap Europe 2050). For a decade, I have done research in energy planning, technical energy system analyses, feasibility studies as well as public regulation and technological changes in society.
Research Project: 4DH
A unique collaboration between industry, universities and the public sector to investigate the potential for and develop 4th Generation District Heating.
Research Project: Re-Invest
An Innovative Research-Based Endeavour Towards A 100% Renewable Energy System In Europe.
Analysis tool: energyPLAN
Advanced energy system analysis computer model that simulates the operation of national energy systems on an hourly basis, including the electricity, heating, cooling, industry, and transport sectors.
