Digital Energy 4 All
The digitization of the energy system offers a multitude of new opportunities, but also allows the energy transition to move closer to people and society, thus increasingly influencing their everyday lives. This brings the issue of equal opportunities into the focus of consideration. The planned research project therefore integrates future users of different population groups by means of participatory and trans-disciplinary reasearch methods and aims at developing
- cooperative and not exclusively profit-oriented participation, billing and business models, as well as digital energy exchange models / platforms for digital energy communities for community, local energy supply
- appropriate control and optimization algorithms based on distributed ledger technology (to enable transparency and independence)
- a comprehensible, usable user interface that enables users to communicate their individual and possibly changing needs in a real environment (Living Lab) to implement and test.
The project will be accompanied by an innovation network of project partners and external experts to be established at an early stage
- for interactive, interdisciplinary knowledge transfer, deepening and application
- for networking and establishing new interdisciplinary cooperation
- to ensure equal opportunities in the digitization of energy supply throughout the project to prevent the exclusion of individual groups from participation in energy communities.
