Renewable energy and high power consumers cause peak loads in the electricity network, for example, through the quick charging of electric cars or using heat pumps. On the other hand, by using the precalculated PV production of electricity, the local resilience of the network can be calculated. Moreover, heat pumps can be switched off to lower the electric demand. In the P+D project GIASES (Ganzheitlich Integrierendes Adaptives Smart Energy System zur Glättung von Lastspitzen), we explore, together with the iHomeLab, to what extent such measures can contribute to handling future peak loads in the electricity network.
