Personal Information
Stefanie Nguyen has been working as a research assistant in the research area Transformation of Energy Systems at RLI since June 2026. She studied Renewable Energy Systems (M.Sc.) at the Technical University of Berlin, where she previously completed her bachelor’s degree in energy and process engineering. She had already been working as a student assistant in the same research area since October 2018, supporting the team in research and evaluations in project work as well as the maintenance of open source code in Python.
She wrote her master’s thesis in the project ResQEnergy – Resilient Energy System for Technology Districts. In it, she modelled a climate-neutral energy system for the Adlershof Science and Technology Park in the target year 2050, using the open-source energy system optimisation model oemof-B3. The focus was on the energy supply of a heterogeneous district, in particular the heat supply by shifting the spatial system boundaries around the Adlershof combined heat and power plant.
In her work, Stefanie deals with the modelling of energy systems in the context of the energy transition. She uses the open-source framework oemof to map urban energy systems and develops energy demand scenarios and techno-economic analyses based on this. The basis for this is the research and processing of data, from which she derives time series for modelling, among other things.
A second focus of her work is the accompanying research on research projects that strive for the successful implementation of municipal heat planning. In doing so, she investigates the interaction between municipal heat planning and the energy system.
