Personal profile
Short bio
Work related to energy system modeling (IRENA FlexTool), energy sufficiency, social acceptance of sustainable energy production, demand response and support for policymakers. I’m interested in e.g. how to quantify local acceptability, or the lack of it, in sustainable energy projects and how to incorporate its importance in cost-benefit analyses and energy optimisation models.
