Sustainable Infrastructures for Renewable Energy Systems
Group Profile
The research group aims at developing tools, methods and datasets for scenario-based techno-economic analyses for electricity, gas and hydrogen transport networks in the context of European decarbonisation goals. Research covers for instance the integrated planning and operation of transport networks for electricity, gas and hydrogen, the techno-economic analysis of new components for electricity grids, the interdependencies between market design and grids, the effects of sector coupling technologies on infrastructures and empirical behaviour studies in the living lab Energy Smart Home Lab.
