Machine Learning in Sustainable Energy Systems

Who we are: We’re the MLSES group within the Cluster of Excellence – Machine Learning for Science at the University of Tübingen and are interested in developing new machine learning algorithms to build and maintain a future sustainable energy system.

Research Areas

Climate Change Impacts on Energy Systems

Climate Change Impacts on Energy Systems

How does climate change impact a renewable energy system?

Probabilistic Forecasting

Probabilistic Forecasting

How can we reliably predict time series in complex systems under uncertainty?

Statistical, Physical Information and Modularity

Statistical, Physical Information and Modularity

How can we include statistical information such as seasonality, trends or concept drifts into DNNs to improve forecasting?

Demand Side Flexibility & Markets

Demand Side Flexibility & Markets

How can we recognise, promote and use flexibility on the demand side?
