Anfang 2019 wurde beim Umweltbundesamt das Regionalnachweisregister ins Leben gerufen, mit dessen Hilfe Energieversorgungsunternehmen die Regionalität einer Stromlieferung gegenüber ihren Kunden ausweisen können. Doch auch ohne Regionalnachweisregister wird teilweise mit der Regionalität von...

Legitimacy is a crucial factor determining the success of technologies in the early stages of development and for maintaining resource flows as well as public and political support across the technology life cycle. In sustainability transitions that unfold over long periods of time, the...

Anfang 2019 wurde beim Umweltbundesamt das Regionalnachweisregister ins Leben gerufen, mit dessen Hilfe Energieversorger die Regionalität einer Stromlieferung gegenüber ihren Kunden ausweisen können. Doch auch ohne Regionalnachweisregister wird teilweise mit der Regionalität von Stromtarifen...

As one possibility to increase flexibility, battery storage systems (BSS) will play a key role in the decarbonization of the energy system. The emissions-intensity of grid electricity becomes more important as these BSSs are more widely employed. In this paper, we introduce a novel data basis...

Die Verbreitung der Elektromobilität im Individualverkehr wird derzeit politisch gefördert, da sie als eine Maßnahme zur Senkung der Treibhausgasemissionen gesehen wird. Neben elektrisch angetriebenen Pkw bringen Automobilhersteller zunehmend auch elektrische Zweiräder auf den Markt. Diese...

Main challenges within the energy system of tomorrow are more volatile, less controllable and at the same time more decentralized electricity generation. Furthermore, the increasing research and development activities on electric vehicles (EV) make a significant share of electric vehicles within...

Currently, most photovoltaic (PV) modules are aligned in a way that maximizes the overall annual yields, which leads to significant peaks in electricity production and could threaten energy policy objectives such as security of supply as well as environmental sustainability. The exploitation of...

As road transport is responsible for a major part of greenhouse gas emissions, broad diffusion of electric vehicles (EV), in combination with electricity generated from "clean" energy sources, can contribute to reducing overall CO2 emissions significantly. EV include plug-in hybrid electric...

The trend towards decentralized energy systems with an emphasis on renewable energy sources (RES) causes increased fluctuations and non-negligible weather-related uncertainties on the future supply side. Stochastic modeling techniques enable an adequate consideration of uncertainties in the...

In Germany over 700 energy cooperatives were established since 2006 and about 46% of installed renewable energy can be referred to as community energy. Decentralised community energy resources are often abundant in smaller, more rural communities. But these often lack the resources to develop...
