Team Future Energy Systems

"Our vision is to create sustainable business models and business ecosystems that are not only competitive, but also take care of our climate."

Dr. Silvia Ulli-Beer

Thematic and Methodological Focal Points

Our Mission

There are a variety of technological options for efficient and renewable energy systems. But which business models enable their profitable use? And how should they be orchestrated between various stakeholders so that everyone benefits and contributes to a sustainable energy supply?


This is where INE's Future Energy Systems team comes in: in our applied research, we support industry partners and authorities in designing measures and developing competitive business models and ecosystems.

Our Research Approaches

We combine social science methods with modern technologies to develop solutions for the energy transition. These include

  • System dynamic modelling to analyse complex interactions in energy systems.
  • Expert interviews, workshops and surveys to gain well-founded insights.
  • Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) as research and communication tools.

Collaboration with Industry and Authorities

Our research has a strong practical focus: we work closely with companies, institutions and other stakeholders to develop customised solutions. Our aim is not only to research innovative concepts in theory, but also to make them applicable in practice.
