EcoGrid EU EU fast-track to a smart energy system Integrated research and demonstration Novel 5-min market empowering 2,000 private and commercial customers managing their energy Smart meters and automation equipment installed in buildings and processes Co-funded by EU. Refs: IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid, 2013.
EcoGrid EU Cutting-edge experience with flexible customers Awards EU Sustainable Energy Award 2016; most outstanding and innovative energy project with consumers. IEA ISGAN Award of Excellence in smart grid systems 2014, "Consumer Engagement & Empowerment Best Sustainable IT-project 2012, awarded by Sustainia 100 (Arnold Schwarzenegger et. al) Multiple customer motivations Lower electricity bill by smart control Knowledge about own energy use Using green electricity Possibilities with new technology Being part of a community(!) 4
The EcoGrid Market and Demand Response Performance Performance of the 5-min market Demand response for customer groups Power [kw] 0-50 -100-150 -200-250 -300 Customer group 1 Customer group 2 Customer group 3-20 0 20 40 60 80 100120140160180 Time [Minutes] Different response from customer group have to be taken into account in the market design Response to prices with uncertainty Activating demand reduces the peak load by 670 kw (1.2% of Bornholm peak demand) 5 The societal costs from balancing are reduced by 5.4% The EcoGrid market allows to integrate 8.6% more wind power than the baseline market Read more: www.eu-ecogrid.net
Education and knowledge transfer from university to industry Numerous bachelor and master student thesis and projects Relevance to the education Innovation to the project Valuable connection between candidates / future employer PhD-students Core part of project Now top-experts in industry designing the future smart grid Regular courses use it for real-life examples, data sources etc Attracting world-leading guest professors contributing to the education 6
Digitalization and Collaborative Energy Economy Energy and information sharing at all levels Prosumer-centred electricity market design based on peer-2-peer trading of energy and data New business models and grid tarriffs For a younger generation growing up on the Internet and comfortable interacting in social media, the hierarchically organized flow of authority and power from the top down is old school, President of Spain.
