Smart energy model

Introduction

The "Smarte energy model" is an innovative project that makes the energy supply of the municipal hospital Dresden at the Friedrichstadt site future-proof and sustainable. The components of the existing supply system supply information to the "Smarte energy model" via smarte measurement and control systems, which records consumption and yields and derives optimization algorithms. Through the intelligent networking of electricity, heat and transport, the aim is to optimize the use of renewable energies. Using modern technology such as Smart metering, sensor technology and a 5G network, the aim is not only to optimize the energy supply, but also to make it transferable to other districts and facilities.

The goal

The aim of the project is to create a climate-friendly and stable energy system that ensures long-term security of supply and reduces CO₂ emissions. Initially, the Smartenergy model will create the basis for data-based decisions so that operating costs can be reduced and the use of resources optimized. The smart energy model combines innovative technologies and digital control in order to increase the share of renewable energy supply (e.g. from photovoltaic systems) in total consumption. Optimized control reduces consumption and cuts energy costs. The project offers an exemplary solution that can serve as a model for sustainable energy infrastructures in other municipalities.
