E-DeMa

Highly heterogeneous density of supply is characteristic of the model region of the E-DeMa project, which comprises rural and urban areas with two different distribution networks in the Rhine-Ruhr area. This results in particular technical challenges, which are overcome by the creation of an intelligent ICT infrastructure. The research project builds on the existing distribution of digital smartmeters to drive energy efficiency in integrated homes (new "ICT gateway"). The focus of the project includes the development of an intelligent power consumption control system and the real-time collection and provision of consumption data. Furthermore, the project also aims to optimize network operation management in decentralized distribution networks.
