Article
Full-text available
The shift to electric transportation is crucial to fighting climate change. However, Germany’s goal of 15 million electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030 remains distant. Therefore, enhancing their economic viability is essential to promoting EV adoption. One promising option to increase the economics for the user is PV self-consumption optimization using...
Article
Intelligent, bidirectional charging strategies (vehicle-to-X, V2X) are a crucial part of the decarbonization of the transport sector. To facilitate the successful rollout of business models associated with V2X, we identify revenue potentials for different use cases, additional costs, and resulting profits for future years. Our assessments result in...
Article
A smart integration of electric vehicles (EVs) in the future energy system will be crucial in decarbonizing the energy sector. Bidirectional EVs can provide flexibility for the system and generate revenues for the user through multiple use cases. We model both exclusive photovoltaic (PV) self-consumption optimization and the combined usage of PV se...

Im Zuge der wachsenden Nutzung synthetischer Gase im Zuge der Energiewende stellt sich die Frage nach der geeigneten Transportinfrastruktur für Deutschland. Ziel ist es, eine Methode zu entwickeln, die einen möglichst kosteneffizienten Um- und Ausbau der energiesystemrelevanten Gasinfrastruktur herleitet. In diesem Kontext beschäftigt sich das Pape...
Article
Full-text available
Replacing traditional internal combustion engine vehicles with electric vehicles (EVs) proves to be challenging for the transport sector, particularly due to the higher initial investment. As EVs could be more profitable by participating in the electricity markets, the aim of this paper is to investigate revenue potentials when marketing bidirectio...
Conference Paper
Natural gas plays an important role in the European energy mix. Its fields of application are diverse. In the future, significant changes in European gas flows will occur such as less indigenous production and more imports of LNG. It is also possible that green or blue hydrogen will be mixed into the gas flows in the future. The effects of these ch...

Die Digitalisierung erhält Einzug in die Energiewirtschaft. Intelligente Messsysteme (iMSys) bieten die Möglichkeit, die Genauigkeit von Lastberechnungen an den Trafostationen zu verbessern. In diesem Artikel wird untersucht, ob innovative iMSys-basierte Lastberechnungen eine höhere Genauigkeit aufweisen als herkömmliche Standardlastprofil-Verfahre...
Conference Paper
Since January 2017, more than 70 project partners are investigating the transformation towards a digital energy system within the project C/sells. Over a period of four years, a combination of theoretical research and development as well as practical application in field trials will be used to investigate and demonstrate the implementation of an in...
Conference Paper
As electricity generation in Germany is shifting to volatile PV and wind power generation, intraday trading becomes more important to ensure power balance in the energy system. Market participants already have various opportunities of distributing their power at different markets. A realistic forecast of revenues in continuous intraday trading is a...
Conference Paper
Variable electricity rates can pose an incentive for residential customers to adapt their consumption behavior to external requirements. Due to increasing installed capacities from volatile renewables, this flexibility can be utilized to integrate more renewable generation in the system. This can be quantified by the reduction of necessary curtailm...
Article
Full-text available
The expansion of capacities in the German transmission grid is a necessity for further integration of renewable energy sources into the electricity sector. In this paper, the grid optimisation measures 'Overhead Line Monitoring', 'Power-to-Heat' and 'Demand Response in the Industry' are evaluated and compared against conventional grid expansion for...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
A prerequisite for the further integration of renewable energy sources into the German electricity sector is the expansion of transmission network capacities. In this study, an approach to relieve the German transmission grid by regulating the wind power development is evaluated for the year 2030. Compared to a reference scenario, the development o...
