Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISIResearcher
Since October 2023, Miriam Frömel has been working as a researcher and PhD candidate in the Business Unit Electricity Markets and Infrastructures within the Department of Energy Policy and Energy Markets.
The focus of the work is on the supply-side modeling of energy systems. The activity concentrates on optimizing the costs of the energy system by the year 2045 using the energy system model Enertile, as well as on improving the spatial resolution of district heating networks within the model.
Miriam Frömel studied electrical engineering and information technology (B.Sc., M.Sc.) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) with a stay abroad at the École Centrale de Marseille (France). In her studies she specialized in Electric Energy Systems and Energy Economics. During her master thesis at Fraunhofer ISI, she worked on determinants on the hydrogen infrastructure for a climate-neutral energy system in Germany (title of the thesis: "Influences of the degree of Energy Autarky. Offshore Electrolysers and Storage Costs on the hydrogen infrastructure in 2050"). Parallel to her master's degree, Miriam Frömel completed a companion course called «Sustainable Development» at the Center for Applied Cultural Studies (ZAK) in Karlsruhe.
