Ulf Philipp Müller

Ulf Philipp Müller is a Researcher in the Department of Energy and Biotechnology at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences, where he has been employed since May 2013. His work focuses on sustainable and reliable power supply through renewable energy integration, culminating in his 2021 doctoral thesis on grid and storage expansion optimization in German power systems.

His academic background includes:

• High school graduation in Braunschweig (2006)
• Voluntary community service in Panama
• Bachelor in Energy- and Environmental Management (Industrial Engineering) at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences with a semester in Granada, Spain
• Master in Energy- and Environmental Management (Industrial Engineering) at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences

Dr. Müller's research centers on techno-economic modeling for renewable energy integration, emphasizing grid planning, storage expansion, and sector coupling. His methodology combines high-resolution spatial analysis with open data frameworks to address grid stability and reliability challenges in transitioning energy systems.

His publication portfolio demonstrates consistent focus on transparent grid modeling tools, with recurring themes in high-voltage grid simulation, storage optimization, and cross-sector energy planning. The works collectively advance open-source approaches for German and Baltic Sea region energy systems, highlighting spatial allocation techniques and multi-voltage level analysis.

He has led significant research initiatives including open_eGo (2015-2018), which he initiated and coordinated, and its successor eGo^n (2019-present) integrating sector coupling into grid planning tools. These projects have secured institutional support for developing open energy platforms.

As part of the Department of Energy and Biotechnology research group, he contributes to energy system modeling for Germany's energy transition, focusing on practical implementation of grid expansion strategies.
