Abstract

An increasing number of renewable energy sources driven by ambitious sustainability efforts is both changing and challenging electricity systems worldwide. Successfully dealing with a variable and highly decentralized electricity supply associated with the rising share of renewable energy sources will be crucial in the near future. This paper investigates the potential of information technology (IT) for regional marketing of energy flexibility from the machine level in factories to the electricity-grid level. In this context, energy flexibility describes the capability to react quickly and cost-efficiently to alternating electricity availability. Based on a literature review of regional marketing mechanisms, existing concepts of IT platforms, and current real-world model regions, this paper aims to apply a holistic research approach to better understand the challenges regarding the energy transition on a regional level and corresponding requirements for IT platforms used for flexibility marketing. The approach allows to identify relevant key challenges and flexibility marketing use cases, attributing core importance to underlying production processes. In particular, target processes for respective use cases are derived based on a description of current regional marketing of demand flexibility. Successful implementation of target processes is required to provide regional energy flexibility via IT platforms. A comparison between current processes and target processes finally allows defining the need for change and development, e.g., of new intelligent interfaces, already during the conceptual test of new IT platforms. The introduced research approach was applied to one exemplary use case within the energy-flexible model region Augsburg of the Kopernikus project SynErgie, Germany. The paper especially illustrates that service-oriented IT platforms simplify the communication process between the relevant players in energy flexibility marketing. 

Zusammenfassung

Der steigende Anteil erneuerbarer Energien, die durch ehrgeizige Nachhaltigkeitsbemühungen vorangetrieben wird, verändert die Elektrizitätssysteme weltweit und stellt sie gleichzeitig vor neue Herausforderungen. In diesem Artikel wird das Potenzial der Informationstechnologie (IT) für die regionale Vermarktung von Energieflexibilität von der Maschinenebene in Fabriken bis hin zur Stromnetzebene untersucht. Energieflexibilität beschreibt in diesem Zusammenhang die Fähigkeit von Fabriken, schnell und kosteneffizient auf ein fluktuierendes Stromangebot zu reagieren. Basierend auf einer Literaturrecherche zu regionalen Vermarktungsmechanismen, bestehenden Konzepten von IT-Plattformen und realen Modellregionen zielt dieser Beitrag darauf ab, einen ganzheitlichen Forschungsansatz anzuwenden, um die Herausforderungen der Energiewende auf regionaler Ebene und entsprechende Anforderungen an IT-Plattformen zur Flexibilitätsvermarktung zu durchdringen. Der Ansatz erlaubt es, relevante Schlüsselherausforderungen und Anwendungsfälle der Flexibilitätsvermarktung zu identifizieren, wobei den zugrundeliegenden Produktionsprozessen eine zentrale Bedeutung beigemessen wird. Insbesondere werden Zielprozesse für die jeweiligen Anwendungsfälle auf der Grundlage einer Beschreibung der regionalen Vermarktung von Nachfrageflexibilität abgeleitet. Die erfolgreiche Umsetzung der definierten Soll-Prozesse ist Voraussetzung für die Bereitstellung regionaler Energieflexibilität über IT-Plattformen. Der Vergleich zwischen Ist- und Soll-Prozessen ermöglicht es schließlich, bereits bei der konzeptionellen Erprobung neuer IT-Plattformen den Änderungs- und Entwicklungsbedarf, z. B. von intelligenten Schnittstellen, zu definieren. Der vorgestellte Forschungsansatz wurde auf einen exemplarischen Anwendungsfall innerhalb der Energieflexiblen Modellregion Augsburg des Kopernikus-Projekts SynErgie angewandt. Der Beitrag verdeutlicht, dass dienstleistungsorientierte IT-Plattformen den Kommunikationsprozess zwischen den relevanten Akteuren im Energieflexibilitätsmarketing vereinfachen.
