With the growing expansion of renewables, the demand for intelligent energy management solutions is increasing in the low-voltage grid. Local energy generation from micro plants and flexible loads are synchronized at the local level, thus reducing complexity at the higher voltage levels. In the future, city quarters and neighborhoods will be actively managed to maximize local generation and relieve superordinate grid levels. In this context, we are developing new management solutions based on decentralized plants and a large number of market participants. Besides optimization at the building, we are also researching holistic concepts for neighborhood management. From the first concept to the realized city quarter flagship project, we drive innovative solutions forward, demonstrating the advantages of decentralized energy management in real-life operation
Our R&D activities on "Urban District and Neighborhood Management" include:
- Energy agents for distributed micro systems
- Technology consulting for solutions with BSI-compliant smart metering systems, especially for system control via control boxes
- Simulation and evaluation of decentralized energy management
- Billing of energy amounts in the block chain
- Management systems for urban district and neighborhood management and landlord-to-tenant electricity supply projects
