Making power grids more flexible and stable: When buildings plan around their energy demands
Dübendorf, St. Gallen und Thun, 17.3.2025 - In order to guarantee the security of supply of our future energy system, we need not only an expansion of renewable energies, but also sophisticated control mechanisms that efficiently manage production, distribution and consumption. Empa researchers have therefore developed a predictive control algorithm that optimizes energy management at building level - without compromising user comfort.
