Stadtwerk am See Partners with HTWG Konstanz on AI-based Low Voltage Controllers
Stadtwerk am See partnered with HTWG Konstanz, Fraunhofer Institute, and the International Solar Energy Research Center to develop AI-based low voltage controllers. The project utilized data from Friedrichshafen to optimize grid management.
AI aims to enhance system efficiency and prevent grid congestion. The Smart Grids Platform Baden-Württemberg showcased AI in grid operation, emphasizing the need for intelligence in managing renewable energy sources.
By 2045, Germany anticipates 35 million electric vehicles and over 400 GW of solar capacity, necessitating advanced grid management. Research indicates current load profiles do not reflect new consumption patterns, prompting calls for AI-generated profiles.
Netze BW uses AI for installation support, and the European Commission suggests €170 billion investments in grid digitalization by 2030. EM-Power Europe 2025 will focus on AI and digitalization in the energy sector.
