معرفی
Dr. Ruben Baetens is a post-doctoral researcher and senior staff member at KU Leuven, focusing on the intersection of building energy systems and electrical grid integration. His work addresses techno-economic modeling, uncertainty quantification, and policy implications for low-carbon technologies like heat pumps and photovoltaics.
- Current affiliation: Post-doctoral researcher/Senior Staff, KU Leuven
Research Interests include:
- Building energy simulation using tools like Modelica (IDEAS Library, FastBuildings)
- Stochastic occupant behavior modeling (StROBe Module)
- Grid impact analysis for residential energy technologies
- High-performance thermal insulation materials (aerogels, vacuum panels)
- Demand-side management and meta-modeling for energy policies
Selected Trends in Publications (2011–2025):
- Systematic evaluation of grid reinforcement costs for urban vs. rural contexts
- Development of open-source frameworks (OpenIDEAS) for multi-domain simulations
- Advocacy for equitable energy policies that internalize grid externalities
- Early work on phase change materials and smart window technologies
