Generation-synchronous participation in large renewable generation plants Sub-project “Simulation, measurement infrastructure and field test evaluation”

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Simon Schramm

Considerable investment is needed to implement the energy transition, both for the expansion of renewable generation plants and for the utilization of fluctuating renewable energies. Achieving both goals is made considerably easier by increasing the acceptance of plant construction and by adjusting consumption in line with energy availability if citizens participate as active stakeholders.

In order to create incentives to reduce storage requirements through load shifting as energy generation fluctuates, the project in the district of Ebersberg (EBE) offers “generation-synchronous participation in large renewable generation plants” (EBeRE) in the form of a so-called energy yield. The energy yield comes into effect when the participants consume electricity synchronized with generation or when unused energy generation is marketed. The energy yield can be increased if the participants respond to special requirements of the supplier. The extent to which this “remuneration” leads to a temporal adjustment of the consumption behavior of the participants and which key performance indicators (KPIs) and remuneration models are suitable for which target or population groups are two research topics of the EBeRE process.

The explicit aim is always to ensure that all citizens, regardless of property ownership or residential location, can participate equally in the yield from renewable generation plants.

The research project consists of the following sub-projects:

  • Simulation, measurement infrastructure and field test evaluation (Munich University of Applied Sciences)
  • Dynamic energy yield as a service (MINcom Smart Solutions)
  • User-centered design (Chemnitz University of Technology)
  • Stakeholder involvement and communication (B.A.U.M. Consult)
