More and more e-mobility and more and more all-electric heating systems are pushing our electricity grids to their limits: You can moan about it. OR we can find solutions: Like in the CACTUS project.
In the CACTUS project, we are working with our project partners on solutions to generate price incentives with the help of intelligent electricity forecasts. THEN: These price incentives should automatically lead to load and generation shifts, which reduce direct control interventions by grid operators.
Brand new in the video - here we share details and results from our joint research project together with our project partners: Watch directly on YouTube here.
Short and sweet - this is what we contribute to the project:
- Implementation of price incentives in optimization algorithms for controlling electricity consumers and generators in district projects with sector coupling (e.g. heat pumps, CHP, e-charging stations...)
- Development of a standardized interface to charging infrastructure backend operators for the purpose of postponing charging processes in the event of imminent grid overload
- Investigations into the availability of the devices and services involved in the process in the event of a communication and power failure and compilation of the technical requirements for a black start and the grid structure
The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection.
