Controlling the energy balance in the isolated grids

  • World Alliance Member
  • Featured Solution
  • Labelled Solution
Label Date February 28, 2019
From Germany
Maturity stage TRL 7 - Prototype testing in the real world

This solution consists of three elements. First, a controller modifies the operation time of flexible electricity consumers (pumping, cooling, heating, charging of batteries – e.g. electric vehicles, time flexible processes like washing) or generators (combined heat and power plants – CHP) to respond to the current availability of energy. This controller can be an add-on electronics box or a piece of software integrated in the existing equipment controller by its supplier. Before that, a device generates the "Balance Indicator" (BI). This indicator, calculated through an algorithm, describes the current status of the grid. The controller takes this indicator as input data to decide when the appliances should function. The third element is a dedicated or firmware-updated “smart meter” able to read the BI and fix dynamic tariff of the electricity.

  • Allows to convert all energy production to renewable energy.
  • 75% CO2 reduction available.

The Financial Benefits
