The energy transition is being shaped by innovative technology and digitalisation: How the VideKIS research project is contributing to the integration of renewable energies. The VideKIS project is researching the use of modern technologies and digital solutions to integrate small and micro renewable energy systems into the grid in a grid-friendly and efficient manner. The aim is to ensure a sustainable and stable energy supply in a decentralised energy landscape.

Digitalisation, mobility, sustainability and decarbonisation are all topics that are really important to both local authorities and municipal utilities. In this blog post, you can find out to how a virtual power plant can be part of the solution and where adesso can support local authorities and municipal utilities in addressing these issues.

As part of the VideKIS research project, adesso is developing a virtual power plant comprised of decentralised renewable energy plants that uses an optimisation model to generate decisions regarding the sale of power for these plants. This blog post will use an example to present a process model for creating an optimisation model.

adesso of course cannot be missing at the leading European trade fair for the energy industry in Essen, Germany! And we have some highlights in store. From a business breakfast on the topic of grid connection portals to interesting facts about hydrogen and exciting insights into our innovative VideKIS research project on virtual power plants, this trade fair has it all. In this blog post, we will focus primarily on the VideKIS research project.

At the Stadtwerke Impact Day, experts from the energy sector discussed the latest challenges and solutions for an emissions-free future. adesso presented the innovative research project VideKIS and sat down with experts to talk about new distribution models and regional value creation. At the event, it became clear that time is running out. We need to take action now and work together to move the energy transition forward

The expansion of photovoltaic plants needs to be accelerated to make the energy transition a success. But with an increasing lack of suitable land, the question arises whether to use it for agriculture or to generate electricity. Agrophotovoltaics allows areas of land to be used for two purposes simultaneously: photovoltaic modules on stilts generate electricity and at the same time, the land beneath them can be used for agriculture. But how does it work and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

People have been harnessing the power of water for thousands of years. Today, hydropower plants are one of the cornerstones of our electricity supply, and this old and proven technology will play a key role in the energy transition. This blog post will explain how hydropower works and what types there are.

Conventional power plants, such as nuclear or coal-fired power plants, still provide a large portion of the system services in the electricity grid these days, for example frequency maintenance. Our blog post about the VideKIS research project will reveal how these system services should also be provided using renewable energy sources in future.
