Michael Zellinger worked as a Design Engineer for one of the world's leading hydropower plant constructors from 2008-2012. In his role, he was primarily responsible for the design, handling and assembly preparation of hydraulic steel construction for large hydro power plant projects (pumped storage and run-of-river power plants) in the range of 190MW - 1200MW capacity.
He studied innovation and product management from 2012-2015 at the University of applied science Upper Austria and Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Management at the University of applied sciences Wiener Neustadt campus Wieselburg (2015-2017) graduating with a master's degree with highest honors.
He started working for BEST – Bioenergy and Sustainable Technologies in the field of Smart- and Microgrids in 2017. Michael Zellinger leads multiple projects at BEST in the field of optimization-based conceptual design and planning of renewable energy systems and their control. These include a variety of different energy sources and sinks. Sectoral coupling (electricity, heating and cooling) was a particularly important topic in those projects and approaches. The projects which Michael Zellinger was leading covers a wide range of different challenges in the decentralized energy supply of small neighbourhoods to entire municipalities and multiple ski resorts. From End of 2020 until End of 2022, Michael Zellinger was leading the Smart- and Microgrids area at BEST with a size of 10 team members.
Since January 2023 Michael Zellinger works as Project Manager in the field of solar based energy solutions at GASOKOL GmbH. In September 2024 he founded autonomize GmbH, among others. Autonomize GmbH helps companies shape a sustainable energy future with tailor made solutions, from planning to commissioning, cutting costs and boosting efficiency.
