Flexible Energy Systems and Battery Storage

Making energy consumption, grid usage, and feed-in more flexible is one of the key success factors of the energy transition. Sector coupling with the electricity grid and the use of battery storage systems significantly increase the potential for flexibility and enable a more environmentally sustainable and technically better controllable energy system. The targeted integration, dimensioning, and distribution of battery storage systems is crucial for the further integration of renewable energies and additional consumers. At the same time, the highly dynamic operation of these systems poses a complex technical challenge. Another important contribution is flexible consumption management, which can also be implemented in private households. However, its effectiveness depends largely on social acceptance. With the help of stationary and dynamic grid analyses, new operational management concepts are to be developed and tested, and the innovative use of operating resources and intelligent components is to be investigated.
