Chair of Energy Systems Analysis

At the Chair of Energy Systems Analysis, the focus is on immersing students in the world of energy scenarios and creating their first energy scenarios together.
Critically questioning model assumptions and the ability to communicate results convincingly round off the courses - with the aim of enabling students to help shape strategies for the energy transition themselves.

The courses are aimed at students who

  • have always wanted to know how energy scenarios are actually created
  • want to understand what such scenarios can - and cannot - achieve
  • enjoy modeling complex system contexts themselves

Nuclear Fusion as a Building Block for Renewable Energy Systems

This master thesis addresses fundamental questions at the intersection of fusion research and energy system modelling:
How close is nuclear fusion to generating electricity that is economically competitive? What role could fusion play in a fully renewable energy system-backup capacity, hydrogen production, or bridging extended periods of low renewable output? Which technological components dominate costs, and where might potential savings enhance competitiveness?

About the energy system analysis

Portrait of Heidi Heinrichs-better solution

I would like to contribute to making the energy transition a success story. Today, it is often portrayed, at least in part, as a story of victims. It is not, and it doesn't have to be. And I can contribute to this by providing decision-makers with knowledge: scientifically sound knowledge for the energy transition, robust and resilient and clearly communicated.
From a scientific perspective, I am attracted by the complexity of energy systems and their interactions with other areas of society.
