Seminar on data analysis of renewable energy resources at the 26th Informatica Feminale in Bremen

Information about the Department for Resilient Energy Systems

Research Focus

Research interests and activities of the Working Group are as follow:

In the Industrial Ecology, among other works for material flow management - in particular the substance flow analysis of critical metals (with a focus on identifying and avoiding dissipative losses) for hazardous substance prevention or substitution, as well as opportunities and risks of new technologies' (such as nanotechnology and synthetic biology. ) performed.
In the implementation of life cycle assessments and material flow analysis with the software GaBi and Umberto. Since May 2011, the Department of Umberto Competence Center.
In the development of sustainability strategies in cooperation with companies, where the main focus is on a better understanding of innovation processes.
In the climate adaptation. The focus here is the resilient energy supply in the Metropolitan Region Bremen-Oldenburg.
In the development of methods for technology evaluation, particularly for prospective and in-process technology evaluation. One approach is here, for example the extension of the LCA method to entropy balances.
In the prospective and preventive-oriented technology design.

The activities of the department therefore include both basic research and application-oriented projects.

On the following pages you will find a list of

current research projects as well as the already
completed research projects.

Mariela Tapia held a seminar during 24.-25.08.2023 at the 26th Informatica Feminale, the international Summer University for women* students and practitioners in computer science, which is organized by the University of Bremen.

Mariela Tapia held a seminar during 24.-25.08.2023 at the 26th Informatica Feminale, the international Summer University for women* students and practitioners in computer science, which is organized by the University of Bremen.
During two days, participants learnt basic concepts of renewable energy, as well as tools for the analysis of satellite-derived and reanalysis data for renewable power generation purposes. Then, during hands-on lab sessions, participants used publicly available gridded meteorological datasets to analyze the spatio-temporal variability of solar resources.
The women* who attended the seminar appreciated their first hands-on experience with renewable energy data analysis. Mariela Tapia was delighted to participate in this empowering event and to motivate more women* to work in this field.
