Every year, the Gesellschaft für Energiewissenschaft und Energiepolitik (GEE e.V.) awards a prize in the categories "best dissertation" and "best master's thesis". This year, Dr. Sarah Henni from the IISM-IM research group "Smart Grids and Energy Markets" convinced the jury with her dissertation "Battery Storage in Low-Carbon Energy Systems - Deployment and Data-Driven Operation Systems". In her dissertation, Sarah investigates battery storage requirements in the course of the energy transition and designs operation strategies based on machine learning methods.

In a final in Berlin, Sarah prevailed with her dissertation presentation against two other finalists. We congratulate her on the award!
