Research & Development

The EASY-RES pro­ject will explo­re how to main­tain secu­ri­ty of sup­p­ly of elec­tri­cal ener­gy as power gene­ra­ti­on shifts from con­ven­tio­nal power plants to 100% rene­wa­bles. This chan­ge will also have a major impact on the envi­ron­ment and help sol­ve glo­bal cli­ma­te and ener­gy challenges.

Sel­ec­ted part­ners from six EU count­ries are par­ti­ci­pa­ting in the EASY-RES pro­ject. In addi­ti­on to FENECON, the con­sor­ti­um includes five uni­ver­si­ties (Pas­sau, Thes­sa­lo­ni­ki, Seville, Delft and Lan­cas­ter), three ener­gy pro­vi­ders (Stadt­wer­ke Land­au a. d. Isar, Stadt­werk Hass­furt and Elek­tro Goren­js­ka from Slo­va­kia), the net­work ope­ra­tor ADMIE from Greece and the Zen­trum Digitalisierung.Bayern.

FENECON will con­tri­bu­te tech­ni­cal exper­ti­se on bat­tery beha­vi­or under ste­ady-sta­te and tran­si­ent con­di­ti­ons and on con­trol algo­rith­ms. In addi­ti­on, we will par­ti­ci­pa­te in the deve­lo­p­ment of new sys­tem ser­vices through sto­rage sys­tems and pro­vi­de the neces­sa­ry sto­rage devices in labo­ra­to­ry tests. The open source ener­gy manage­ment Open­EMS (www.openems.io) initia­ted by FENECON ser­ves as the basis for the ener­gy manage­ment and will be fur­ther deve­lo­ped within the project.

The core objec­ti­ve of the MEMAP pro­ject is to deve­lop and test an open aggre­ga­ti­on plat­form. The plat­form is inten­ded to con­nect seve­ral buil­dings or their local EMSs in order to exploit syn­er­gy effects of the dif­fe­rent demand and pro­duc­tion pro­files. Users should be invol­ved in this pro­cess with the help of intui­ti­ve user inter­faces. A simu­la­ti­on frame­work for test­ing the plat­form will be exten­ded to sup­port the com­plex plan­ning pro­cess. The MEMAP pro­ject reli­es on the use of the estab­lished Buil­ding Infor­ma­ti­on Model (BIM) standard.

In addi­ti­on to FENECON, the com­pa­nies Hols­ten Sys­tems GmbH , Sau­ter-Cumu­lus GmbH , IBDM GmbH and the rese­arch insti­tu­ti­ons for­tiss GmbH, TUM MSE Ener­gy Effi­ci­ent and Smart Cities and the Zen­trum Digitalisierung.Bayern are invol­ved in the MEMAP project.

FENECON brings expe­ri­ence in pro­ject deve­lo­p­ment and rea­liza­ti­on as well as vir­tu­al power plants. FENECON par­ti­ci­pa­tes in the ela­bo­ra­ti­on of the requi­re­ment, deve­lo­p­ment and eva­lua­ti­on of busi­ness models, sys­tem ana­ly­sis and deve­lo­p­ment of the soft­ware platform.

In the inter­di­sci­pli­na­ry pro­ject S6ET, the focus is on the inte­gra­ti­on of ener­gy sto­rage sys­tems in decen­tra­li­zed sup­p­ly con­cepts. The aim of the pro­ject is to deve­lop a spa­tio-tem­po­ral and net­work model that makes it pos­si­ble to search spe­ci­fi­cal­ly for opti­mal loca­ti­ons for dif­fe­rent sto­rage solu­ti­ons (with regard to elec­tri­ci­ty, heat and gas) and to make them available via a brow­ser application.

S6ET takes a regio­nal, decen­tra­li­zed approach and seeks to con­tri­bu­te to the fur­ther sha­ping of the ener­gy tran­si­ti­on towards sus­taina­bi­li­ty through its results.

The goal of the pro­ject is to sup­p­ly elec­tric vehic­les direct­ly and high­ly effi­ci­ent­ly with self-gene­ra­ted solar power throug­hout the year (sum­mer and win­ter) in order to miti­ga­te or, ide­al­ly, com­ple­te­ly avo­id the extre­me loads on the public power grid that ari­se during pri­va­te charging.

Tech­ni­cal­ly, the direct use of solar power is alre­a­dy pos­si­ble, but the cur­rent solu­ti­ons are only effi­ci­ent when the­re is strong sun­light in the sum­mer. When solar radia­ti­on is weak (win­ter, clou­dy ski­es), char­ging effi­ci­en­cy drops to 35% in some cases, which means that two-thirds of the alre­a­dy low solar power gene­ra­ti­on is con­ver­ted unu­sed into heat in this wea­ther. The rese­arch pro­ject aims to sol­ve this pro­blem with spe­ci­al­ly deve­lo­ped power electronics.

The aim of this pro­ject is the deve­lo­p­ment of a con­trol­ling and main­ten­an­ce sys­tem to delay non-line­ar aging pro­ces­ses of 2nd-life bat­te­ries in sta­tio­na­ry sto­rage sys­tems in order to enable an eco­no­mic­al­ly inte­res­t­ing appli­ca­ti­on of the­se sys­tems due to the exten­ded uti­liza­ti­on time. The pro­ject will crea­te a hybrid sto­rage pro­to­ty­pe com­bi­ning 1st- and 2nd-life trac­tion bat­tery packs from elec­tric vehicles.

In addi­ti­on to FENECON, the part­ners include the com­pa­ny BEDM GmbH and the Tech­no­lo­gy Cen­ter Ener­gy (TZE) at Lands­hut Uni­ver­si­ty of Appli­ed Sciences.

FENECON is respon­si­ble for deve­lo­ping the sys­tem inte­gra­ti­on of the trac­tion bat­te­ries, inclu­ding the intel­li­gent and fle­xi­ble power elec­tro­nics of the 2nd-life hybrid sto­rage sys­tem. Fol­lo­wing this rese­arch pro­ject, FENECON is aiming to mar­ket this sto­rage solu­ti­on, incl. the new sys­tem. of the asso­cia­ted service.

After more than 2 years of inten­si­ve rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment tog­e­ther with our part­ners, we were able to suc­cessful­ly bring the pro­ject results into the field as part of our award-win­ning Indus­tri­al pro­duct range.

Dis­tri­bu­ted elec­tri­ci­ty sto­rage sys­tems can make a major con­tri­bu­ti­on to the ener­gy tran­si­ti­on. Howe­ver, the ope­ra­ting methods curr­ent­ly in use usual­ly offer only nai­ve stra­te­gies that take into account only the instanta­neous situa­ti­on behind the elec­tri­ci­ty meter. The aim of the pro­ject is to use inte­gra­ted busi­ness models to tap the gre­at poten­ti­al of sto­rage for both the end user and the dis­tri­bu­ti­on sys­tem ope­ra­tor (DSO). To this end, inno­va­ti­ve char­ging and dischar­ging algo­rith­ms are being deve­lo­ped to opti­mi­ze the self-use of solar ener­gy and the con­trol of varia­ble loads. “Poo­ling” of dis­tri­bu­ted sto­rage fle­xi­bi­li­ty also enables par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on in the ener­gy mar­ket. In addi­ti­on, an open-data plat­form for anony­mi­zed ener­gy data is being crea­ted to make it publicly available for rese­arch pur­po­ses. The basis of the pro­ject is the open-source ener­gy manage­ment sys­tem Open­EMS (www.openems.io), which is being fur­ther deve­lo­ped as part of the project.

BloGPV has set its­elf the goal of enab­ling the eco­no­mic ope­ra­ti­on of pho­to­vol­taic sys­tems in a post-EEG situa­ti­on. As part of Smart Ser­vice World II, many decen­tra­li­zed bat­tery sto­rage faci­li­ties will be united by block­chain tech­no­lo­gy to form a lar­ge-sca­le vir­tu­al sto­rage facility.

A decen­tra­li­zed sto­rage manage­ment with the con­nec­tion of value-added ser­vices as well as the crea­ti­on of sui­ta­ble balan­cing and bil­ling models should enable an eco­no­mic ope­ra­ti­on of PV sys­tems wit­hout feed-in tariffs and thus make a signi­fi­cant con­tri­bu­ti­on to the ener­gy transition.

FENECON arbei­tet hier­zu mit den Pro­jekt­part­nern Deut­sches For­schungs­zen­trum für künst­li­che Intel­li­genz, Dis­co­ver­gy, ener­ci­ty und der TU Ber­lin zusammen.
