Regionalized power supply at distribution grid level

As part of the ”Energiewende“, the previously centralized power supply system is being replaced by a decentralized, volatile supply of renewable energies to the electricity grids, which shifts power supply from the transmission to the distribution grid level. The KIBOenergy research project is based on this approach, exemplifying the way in which regionalization of power supply at distribution grid level can be achieved so as to reduce exchanges of electricity between the transmission grid and the distribution grid. Grid expansion necessary within the “Energiewende” can thus be reduced and manmade carbon dioxide emissions can be curbed. This enhances acceptance of the “Energiewende” by the public.
