Tabea Katerbau

Tabea Katerbau works on the contribution of energy communities to the energy system transition. The research focuses on the potential of energy communities to relieve the distribution grid, their economic efficiency and a socially just design. Her work includes extending an existing energy cell model and performing load flow simulations.

Tabea holds a Master's degree in Renewable Energy Systems from TU Berlin. As part of her master thesis, she modeled various operating and positioning strategies of battery storage systems in low-voltage grids as a guest researcher at the Graduate School of the Reiner Lemoine Foundation. During her studies, Tabea held various positions as a student assistant. Among others she worked at the Hermann Rietschel Institute at TU Berlin and the German Energy Agency on energy supply of buildings and neighbourhoods. Since 2022, Tabea has been a researcher at the Reiner Lemoine Institute in the research unit Mobility with Renewable Energy. There she works on the grid integration of e-mobility, decentralized electricity markets and energy system modeling.
