Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming Sangyoung Park and Kil Young Lee from the Smart Mobility Systems Group, Technische Universität Berlin for an inspiring exchange on several research topics including transportation electrification and fleet energy consumption modeling.

Our latest study analyzes how dynamic electricity tariffs affect the economic performance of residential PV-battery systems. Using data from 448 households, we show that dynamic day-ahead pricing can noticeably improve annual savings and overall system profitability.

Our colleague Jonas Schiller attended the 9th E-Mobility Power System Integration Symposium in Berlin to exchange ideas on the future of electric mobility.

Last week, our colleagues Prof. Pruckner and Jonas Schiller participated in the kick-off event for the 2023 cohort of the Urban Transition Partnership in Milan.

A student team has developed a novel app that supports homeowners to quickly and easily evaluate possible energy-savings achievable by renovation decissions for their buildings.

Im Forschungsprojekt ESM-Regio wurde ein dynamisches Simulations- und Optimierungsmodell zur integrierten Analyse sektorgekoppelter Energiesysteme auf Landkreisebene entwickelt.

Our new publication analysis the cost and emission savings potentials of intelligent vehilce-to-grid charging using EV telematics data.

In May, we had the opportunity to take part in the National Project Meeting organized by the Federal Ministry for Science, Transformation and Aerospace together with the DLR. The event brought together the German participants of the European Driving Urban Transition Partnership for an open and informal exchange.

Last week, I had the honor of presenting our latest research paper — "Sustainable, Situation-Aware Multi-Objective Spatial Load Scheduling for Data Centers" — at the Energy Efficient Data Centers Workshop, co-located with the 16th ACM E-Energy Conference in Rotterdam.

Our new publication presents the integration of mode choice into our disaggregated mobility demand generator OMOD.

Our colleague, Daniel Bayer, presented our paper titled "Analyzing the Impact of Electric Vehicles on Local Energy Systems using Digital Twins" at the esteemed Winter Simulation Conference in Orlando, Florida.

Our new study presents a novel method for predicting the average performance of heat pumps across all buildings in a city using an unpaired dataset of heat pump electricity and gas smart meter data. This research enables a fully data-driven evaluation of heat pump performance.

Our colleague Jonas Schiller presented our paper entitled “Evaluating Water-Energy Nexus related Water Saving Potentials of Residential Households with Solar PV and Electric Storage“ at the 11th International Conference on Systems for Energy-Efficient Buildings, Cities, and Transportation (BuildSys 2024) in Hangzhou, China.

Through a collaboration between the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Würzburg, funded by Bacatec, our colleague Jonas Schiller had the amazing opportunity to visit the Transportation Sustainability Research Center in California.
