Transcription

1 E-Energy! Information and Communications Technologies for the Energy Sector Conference of the European Commission Brussels, 31 January 2008 Dr. Andreas Goerdeler Head of the Division Development of Convergent ICTs Germany

2 1. Starting point: IC Summit Technology competition E-Energy Beacon project of the national IC Summit Optimising the system of electricity supply by means of innovative ICT solutions Co-operative projects together with the energy industry Start: April 2007 Electricity supply is particularly important in view of the fact that electricity cannot be stored and the increasingly decentral electricity generation; as a consequence, great requirements regarding real-time operation. 2

3 1. Starting point: BMWi study Potentials of information and communications technologies to optimise energy supply and energy consumption (wik-consult, Fraunhofer ISE, Fraunhofer ISI) Digital networking and distributed computer intelligence help to tap new efficiency potentials for the energy sector. The intelligent digital interlinking of all value-added elements of the energy sector from generation via transport and distribution to consumption is necessary to tap new potentials. Recommended priorities for project activities: integrated system approach regarding power plants, intelligent network management, smart metering, smart customers including SMEs, demand response 3

4 2. Support structure Objective : Improved efficiency, climate protection and supply security as well as new employment fields and markets due to a comprehensive digital networking of the electricity supply system (generation - distribution - consumption) Implementation: 3-5 regional model projects BMWi support of up to about 10 million depending on the model region Total volume per model region of about million (rate of funding about 40%) 5-10 project partners per model region (IC / energy technology development, toolbuilding, model users) Accompanying scientific research 4

5 3. Overall strategy Devolpment & regional testing Technologies Tapping the potentials of information and communications technologies Smart metering Portals Embedded systems Business level ICT-based solutions/services Procurement Trade/marketing Service (CRM) E-Energy market place ICT solutions to connect the levels E-Energy operation/maintenance Smart generation Smart grid Smart customer Generation Transport/ Consumption/ Central/decentral Distribution Use Framework conditions Taking account of the context Law Security Environment Social economy Interactive solutions for the process-technology level 5

6 3.1. Development of IC technologies / services Creation of an electronic market place More market transparency / product information and choice when customers wish to switch suppliers Offers that meet the requirements of the market and are tailor-made for customers: tariff models with time elements and for specific user groups etc. 6

7 3.2. Development of IC technologies / services Electronically controlled technical operations Integration of decentral and central producers regarding virtual power plants, plant management, maintenance, network integration Electricity management system: reduction of regulating energy, peak loads, minute reserves; contingency management; network monitoring, damage diagnosis, tele-maintenance of networks, plants and equipment Generation-consumption balance: dynamic updating of generation and demand forecasts; flexible adjustment of electricity-consuming technologies by means of load shifting etc. 7

8 3.3. Development of IC technologies / services Interlinking of electronic market place and technical operations Universal, inexpensive and open interaction platforms; important: interoperability, communications security, confidential information exchange between market and production processes Demand-side-management und demand-response programmes for the real-time integration of decentral generators and loads in the network management 8

9 3.4. Testing of IC technologies / services Testing of the developed online solutions within the framework of key applications (good practice) Regional approach (E-Energy model region) integrative co-operation of all parties involved in the project (cluster), demonstration of technical and economic feasibility and transferability, further development of the legal framework Applications with a broad impact and key significance New chances for growth and competition: testing of acceptance and optimum effectiveness of the new ICT-based solutions, business models and transaction systems, climate protection and primary-energy generation, supply security 9

10 3.5. Accompanying scientific research Project monitoring and evaluation, benchmarking Know-how transfer in the whole ICT / energy community Initiating comprehensive networks for the exchange of know-how (communications network) and the solution of interdisciplinary issues such as legal conformity, standardisation etc. (co-operation network) 10

11 4. Implementation: roadmap Announcement of the competition 23 April 2007 Submission of the competition entries 5 October very good entries end of 2007 Jury vote - winners : 12 finalists February 2008 Announcement of the results (CeBIT) 4 March 2008 Start of the projects autumn
