Transport and Energy

Welcome to the website of the research group Transport and Energy at the Chair of Energy Economics.

 

Research focus

Research on coordinated carbon emission reduction strategies in the electricity, heat, gas and transportation sectors

  • Electric vehicles (EV): Market penetration and impact of smart charging of on the (local and national) power system
  • Techno-economic analysis of Power-to-X technologies and (mobile and stationary) energy storage systems in transmission and distribution grids
  • Mobility patterns, user behavior and user acceptance analysis of (technological) innovations in the transportation sector
