The Institute for Networked Energy Systems employs around 185 people at its sites in Oldenburg and Stuttgart. With its departments of Urban and Residential Technologies, Energy Systems Technology and Energy Systems Analysis, it is dedicated to system-technical and system-analytical issues concerning the intelligent and efficient coupling of the electricity, heat, industry and transport sectors.

The Energy Systems Analysis department pursues the goal of enabling the optimal design of energy systems with high shares of renewable energies by providing detailed orientation knowledge. The Energy Systems Modelling group is dedicated to the analysis of energy systems transformation pathways in high spatial and temporal resolution, the further methodological development of energy systems models and the identification and open provision of data for these models. Within this framework, we are continuously developing the open-source tool venco.py that estimates demand profiles and flexibility potential for future electric vehicle fleets in an aggregated manner. The tool currently quantifies road and freight transport for Germany and, within the scope of this master’s thesis, it is to be extended for other European countries.

With your work you will help raise the quality and informative value of venco.py to estimate electric vehicles demand and flexibility potential. Specifically, the work entails the following tasks:
