Main research
In the department of System Analysis and Renewable Energy we research and lecture on the use of renewable energy like bioenergy, solar, wind or geothermal energy and on integrating these energy technologies within the system context.
Our research especially comprises:
- assessment of potentials of renewable energy
- economic and macroeconomic effects and impacts
- environmental assessments including life cycle assessment
- and various models to assess the integration of renewable energy technologies
We also evaluate pilot plants and are engaged in information and technology transfer.
The research team covers the below mentioned topics. For further information or interest in a particular research project, please contact us any time.
Research groups
System oriented evaluation of biomass and bioenergy use for energetic and non-energetic purposes.
