Summary
Noah Pflugradt is a Group Lead and senior researcher with 11+ years of experience in energy system modeling, software development, and data-driven solutions for grid and building-scale decarbonization. He leads the development of HiSim, a scalable house infrastructure simulator, and created LoadProfileGenerator.de, an agent-based, psychologically-informed tool widely used by energy researchers to generate realistic residential demand profiles. His work spans EU projects and standards contributions—ranging from decentralized storage and battery-sizing guidelines to renewable integration in data centers—bridging academic rigor (Dr.-Ing. in Mechanical Engineering) with practical, open software for planners and policymakers. Based in North Rhine-Westphalia, he combines hands-on coding and model building with leadership in interdisciplinary teams, often translating complex behavioral detail into actionable system models.
