Michael Sterner (* 1978 in Passau ) is a German engineer and professor for " Energy Storage and Energy Systems" at the East Bavarian Technical University of Regensburg .

Life

Michael Sterner was born in Passau in 1978. From 2000 to 2005 he studied mechatronics at the Ostbayerischen Technische Hochschule Regensburg. He then completed a master's degree in renewable energies at the University of Oldenburg . In 2009 he did his doctorate with the topic "Bioenergy and renewable power methane in integrated 100% renewable energy systems" in electrical engineering at the University of Kassel . From 2007 to 2012 he worked and headed the research group Energy Economics and Systems Analysis at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology . At the same time he had a teaching position at the University of Oldenburg.

Sterner has been Professor of Energy Storage and Energy Systems at the Ostbayerischen Technische Hochschule Regensburg since 2012. He is also head of the Research Center for Energy Networks and Energy Storage (FENES).

He is married and has three children.

Scientific work

In his research, Sterner is particularly concerned with energy storage systems for renewable energy systems . He is considered to be one of the originators of power-to-gas technology. In 2014, together with Ingo Stadler, he wrote the textbook Energy Storage , which was published in 2017 in a second edition that was revised and updated as an edited work.

Sterner sits on numerous energy industry committees and advises a. the federal government. He also worked as an author on the 2011 IPCC's Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation (SRREN) .

Others

Sterner is the first signatory of Scientists for Future , an association of scientists that supports the Fridays for Future movement. For further support, Sterner composed the song “Save this world”, which he recorded together with young musicians and which was performed for the first time on September 20, 2019 at Fridays for Future demonstrations. The proceeds of the song, which was designed as a donation song, are to go to Fridays for Future Germany.
