Description
Considerable investment is needed to implement the energy transition, both for the construction of renewable generation plants and for the utilization of volatile renewable energies. Increasing the acceptance of plant construction and adjusting consumption in line with energy availability will be made considerably easier if citizens participate as active stakeholders. In order to create incentives to reduce storage requirements through load shifting in the course of increasing fluctuation in energy generation, the project offers generation-synchronous participation in large renewable generation plants (EBeRE) in the form of an energy yield.
The extent to which this “remuneration” leads to a temporal adjustment of the consumption behavior of the participants and which key performance indicators (KPIs) and remuneration models are suitable for which target or population groups are two research topics of the EBeRE process. The explicit objective is always to ensure that all citizens, regardless of property ownership or residential location, can participate equally in the yield of generation plants (e.g. photovoltaic and wind power plants).
The specific aim of the sub-project “User-centered design” at Chemnitz University of Technology is to develop the user interfaces, which are made available to the participating citizens, in a participatory, user- and human-centered manner. These are intended to present the availability of renewable energy and their own consumption behavior in a user-friendly way. As part of the planned field trials, possible effects on the consumption behavior of citizens will also be investigated.
