Team
The team of DIETER core developers is a group of Post-Docs and Ph.D. students at DIW Berlin lead by Dr. Wolf-Peter Schill. We are part of the Energy, Environment and Transportation department (in German Energie, Umwelt, Verkehr (EVU)) and form, within this department, the Transformation of the Energy Economy (TEE) working group. You can follow the main activities of our group on Twitter.
Current developers
Wolf-Peter Schill
Wolf is Deputy Head of the Department Energy, Transportation, Environment at DIW Berlin and leads the group Transformation of the Energy Economy. He is interested in various aspects of the renewable energy transformation. Together with Alexander Zerrahn, he is one of the fathers of the DIETER model. He made substantial contributions to the initial model development, different types of model extensions, and various applications.
