Sustainable Energy Markets (SEM): Topics

Aim of the research group “Sustaianble energy markets (SEM)” is the analysis of energy markets and energy systems.
Project

The development and use of decision-support models is an important part of the research within this group. The model range consists of agent-based simulation models (PowerACE), optimizing energy and material flow models (PERSEUS) and time series models and stochastic processes for simulating electricity prices and other commodities.
