Prof. Dr. Stefan Niessen
We focus our research on the analysis and the optimization of energy system in order to answer micro- and macro-economical questions

The department is dedicated to the analysis, simulation and optimization of multimodal energy systems in buildings, factories, cities, and regions. The goal is the energy policy triangle of sustainability, cost efficiency, and security of supply. The focus is on couplings between different energy modes such as electricity, heat and material conversions. The latest IT-based processes are used to optimize the structure and operation of energy systems.
