The project Symbiose-4-I&C analyses the coupling of existing energy networks/-carriers, established on centralized energy network nodes or directly next to a consumer (households, industry and commerce) and the benefits of applying decentralized storage technologies.
The optimal position, dimension and the right storage and conversion technology and an optimal energy wide operation of larger consumer groups are going to be estimated for an urban model region.
The determination of additional measures for the integration of decentralized renewable technologies and the resulting reduction of energy import in an urban area are the motivators for this research.
