Micro Grids in Austria? Results of Adres Concept

The integrated concept ADRES shall point out the future of energy supply using intelligent, regenerative and efficient energy systems (Autonomous Decentralized Regenerative Energy Systems – ADRES). Via combination of regenerative energy sources, intelligent grid management and highest efficiency in the entire energy chain, especially in innovative end use appliances, a regional low emission fully supply of all energy services (heat, electricity and local mobility) will be possible [1]. The intelligent appliances will have the autonomous and individual ability to change their demand on decentral indicators for power deficiencies or –surplus, without falling below their emergency supply. The efficient demand will be adapted to the stochastic supply at any time by an intelligent balanceand control algorithm. Connected to this, blackout situations may be prevented and the expenses for energy storage or backup systems can be minimized.
