    • … Resilience, network restrictions and other technical details
    • … Behavioural aspects in energy system modelling
  • Knowledge integration, evaluation and decision support regarding energy technologies and regulatory measures under consideration of multiple criteria (technical, economic, ecological, social)
  • Development of interfaces between energy system modelling and decision support and evaluation
