Smart - Grids

We build a system dynamics model to evaluate the potential dynamics of consumer adoption of “Smart Energy Behaviour”. Within this term we include different levels of: i) shift in electricity consumption towards less costly-less polluting and congestioning hours; ii) the reduction of mainly wasteful electricity consumption, that maintains similar levels of comfort; iii) the enrolment in demand r...

Smart Buildings and Smart Grids

This report provides an overview of the program, discussions, and outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 15091 “Smart Buildings and Smart Grids”, which took place from 22–27 February 2015 at Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics. The main goal of the seminar was to provide a forum for leading Energy Informatics (EI) researchers to discuss their recent research on Smart Buildings and Smart Gri...

Privacy in Smart Grids

Electricity grids are evolving to “smart grids”. Smart grids employ communication of supply and demand between participants of the grid to achieve better efficiency, availability, resilience, etc. than traditional grids. Consumer households are connected to the smart grid using smart metering and demand response. Smart metering communicates the household’s electricity consumption at high resolu...

Planning in smart grids

e electricity supply chain is changing, due to increasing awareness for sustainability and an improved energy e›ciency. e traditional infrastructure where demand is supplied by centralized generation is subject to a transition towards a Smart Grid. In this Smart Grid, sustainable generation from renewable sources is accompanied by controllable distributed generation, distributed storage and dem...
