Abstract

Integrating electromobility and local energy generation based on renewable energy sources into commercial housing poses a challenge for network operators, tenants, as well as the housing industry itself. This paper analyzes the general technical and organizational requirements to establish a local micro smart grid within the framework of the research project Winner Reloaded. Starting from a general analysis of the requirements, a suitable architecture design is derived, focusing on four main, high-level components for data collection, system control, billing, and tenant information. Further this paper describes each component in more detail and discuss the resulting system’s viability, taking both technological and organizational viewpoints into account.
