Over the next two decades, the energy transition and the growth of digitalisation will result in new risks to the electricity supply. A resilience strategy will be required to manage these risks and reliably prevent blackouts and their damaging impacts on society. The “Resilience of digitalised energy systems” working group of the Academies’ Projec...

Das vorliegende Diskussionspapier in Form von 10 Thesen des BDI Arbeitskreis Internet der Energie (BDI IdE) möchte insbesondere gestaltenden Akteuren des Energiesystems Handlungsspielräume im Zieldreieck Umweltverträglichkeit, Preiswürdigkeit und Versorgungssicherheit aufzeigen, die sich vor allem aus absehbaren technischen Entwicklungen ergeben.

We describe an approach for doubling distribution grid capacity for connecting renewable generators based on curtailing a maximum of 5 % of the yearly energy fed into the grid on a per-generator basis. The paper contains information about the control unit needed for automatic minimum curtailment and the field test that has been set up to validate t...

We describe a specific approach to capacity management for distribution grids. Based on simulations, it has been found that by curtailing a maximum of 5% of the yearly energy production on a per-generator basis, distribution grid connection capacity can be doubled. We also present the setting and first results of a field test for validating the app...

The main aspects emphasized in this chapter serve as a guideline for the description of the German background in Chap. 4 and the recommendations and regulatory pathways in ▶ Chaps. 5 and 6. Section...

This chapter gives an overview of Germany’s electric power system, its physical infrastructure, the regulatory environment, and the vision for smart grid development. The main topics presented were selected with the intention of providing examples of lessons learned and of sharing the German experience in the area of the main technological and regu...

There are inherent conflicts between the fundamental energy policy goals of reliability, affordability, and sustainability. Government priorities on the energy policy goals are often reflected in energy sector regulation. In the previous chapter, seven recommendations have been presented in support of smart grid development in China. In principle,...

The future energy system needs cost-efficient means for exchanging and handling smart grid data. Parties involved in the energy system need to access data and services in order to carry out and coordinate their activities. This paper gives an overview of concepts and discussions around building an infrastructure serving the purpose of giving author...

Smart Transformer Monitoring is being used in a Pilot installation in Northern Germany in order to increase the efficient use of substation transformers in the context of weather-dependent fluctuating power feed-in from renewables. This action allows to accommodate renewable energy resources while minimizing the need of extending the electrical gri...

In eTelligence erfolgte die technische Umsetzung einiger Anwendungsfelder aus dem Bereich „Smart Energy“. Im Projekt wurde lediglich der Energieträger Strom betrachtet, ausgespart wurden jedoch die Aspekte Stromspeicherung, Elektromobilität und Zählerwechselprozesse. Hinsichtlich der konkreten Umsetzung werden in diesem Kapitel die vorläufigen Erfa...

Sensor and actor population within future smart distribution grids is much denser than within transmission grids. Thereby, future grid management systems have to cope with larger amounts of data than today's grid management systems. Also, future high-level applications for network management must be suited for use within automatic control loops. Th...

Bis 2022 will Deutschland aus der Kernenergie aussteigen und zügig auf eine Energieversorgung auf der Grundlage erneuerbarer Energien wie Wind- oder Sonnenenergie umstellen. Diese lassen sich in großem Umfang nur mithilfe von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) in das Elektrizitätssystem integrieren. In einem sogenannten Smart Grid v...

The eTelligence project explores and demonstrates various smart energy grid ideas by using modern ICT (information and communications technology). For this purpose, many new and heterogeneous types of smart grid systems have to be developed and integrated, such as a regional energy market, distributed energy management systems, and an advanced mete...

Almost all core processes in energy supply companies are currently affected by dramatic changes of the basic parameters in the utilities sector. Future challenges are discussed by the example of energy management which forms a main business task in the energy supply industry. The concept of a new energy management system (EMS) with a service-orient...

Energy distribution companies nowadays use different IT-systems from vendors within their infrastructure. Those systems often use proprietary data exchange formats and must be connected to other systems. Building specialized adaptors for interconnection between the systems is the most common and time- consuming task for IT-departments at energy com...

Integration ist eine wichtige Anforderung an Entwurf und Implementie- rung betrieblicher Informationssysteme. Am Markt gibt es ein breites Spektrum an anspruchsvollen, oft noch im Wandel begriffenen Werkzeugen und Technologien (z.B. ETL, Application Server, Web Services, EAI, WfMS, SOA) mit zum Teil ¨ ahnlicher Funktionalitat zur Losung der Integra...

Die Integration existierender und neu einzuführender Anwendungen ist heute eine Kernaufgabe im Bereich der IT. Um für das jeweilige Integrati- onsszenario die geeignete Integrationstechnologie auswählen zu können, müs- sen die Integrationsszenarien und die daraus resultierenden Anforderungen an die Integrationstechnologien genauer untersucht werden...

The decay channels of the Ar2s-1 and 2p-1 and Kr3p-1 and 3d-1 electronic hole states have been investigated by means of photoelectron-photoion coincidence measurements following innershell ionization using synchrotron radiation. With the method of final ion-charge resolving electron spectroscopy it has become possible to disentangle different contr...

Using synchrotron radiation in combination with atomic beam and time-of-flight technique, the partial ion yield spectra sigma (Xn+) of Ho, Er and Tm in the region between 130-200 eV were measured. The signals are dominated by Fano-type resonances of singly charged photoions sigma (X+) which can be attributed to discrete transitions X4d104fn to X4d9...
