The Smart Grids Research Group (SGFG) at the Institute of Energy Technology and Energy Economics (IEE) is one of the largest research groups at Ulm University of Technology (THU). The SGFG conducts interdisciplinary research focusing on energy informatics, energy economics, energy meteorology and energy infrastructure. This broad scope is made possible by a co-directing duo of professors with technical and economic backgrounds.
With its application-oriented research, the SGFG represents an important interface between the energy industry and basic university research in Germany. Challenges from business practice on the one hand and the results of basic research on the other are linked to implementation-oriented solutions in order to advance the transformation of the energy supply system.
At the heart of our work is our extensively equipped Smart Grid Laboratory, where we develop, model, simulate and test techno-economic concepts. Contracts with operators of various decentralized energy systems also enable us to carry out field tests under real conditions.
Research projects on current issues relating to the energy transition are carried out in cooperation with a wide range of partners from Germany and Europe and receive funding from the EU, various federal and state ministries and regional programs. By participating in associations, standardization and expert committees, project results are directly incorporated where the course is set for the future of our energy supply system.

Prof. Dr. Dietmar Graeber stands for data-driven innovation in the energy industry. As a professor at Ulm University of Applied Sciences, he combines in-depth market knowledge with state-of-the-art quantitative methods to develop solutions for the challenges of the energy transition. His focus is on distributed flexibility, renewable energies and the further development of European energy markets. With experience from science, industry and business start-ups, he actively promotes the integration of intelligent, sustainable energy systems.
Prof. Dr. Daniel Stetter has many years of expertise in the field of energy transition, the integration of renewable energy into grids and markets, as well as strategy and business development for charging infrastructure and electric mobility—expertise he has developed through his work on supervisory boards, as the CEO of a medium-sized company, in the startup sector, and in research management. His work takes place at the intersection of the energy industry, energy technology, and energy regulation; he is passionate about initiating and leading new, exciting large-scale initiatives, networks, and projects in this field, and also serves as a speaker and consultant.
He has also been active for over 10 years as a lecturer at numerous universities and within industry associations, and in this capacity serves as Chairman of the Board of the Smart Grids Platform Baden-Württemberg e.V.
We work on various projects for the integration of decentralized energy systems into the energy grids and there is always a variety of tasks in the laboratory, in data analysis or the review of technical information.
