Correlation analysis for determining the potential of home energy management systems in Germany

This paper describes the implementation of a model in MATLAB that estimates the potential of home energy management systems based on different component criteria. This is done by the estimation, in a given territory, of the correlation of favorable elements for the installation of integrated systems for energy generation and electromobility. The model is applied to the territories of Germany, evaluating its potential for home energy management systems in current and future situations.

Sustainable Mobility – The MUTE as a Prime Example for Clean and Affordable Mobility

Mobility is a key challenge for sustainable development. Mobility can be blamed for an increasing world-wide oil demand, poor air quality in cities and accelerated CO2 emissions. Electric vehicles seem to offer a way out of these problems, if electricity can be supplied in a sustainable fashion. What is the situation if the current German generation mix is assumed, what if the loading patterns are accounted for properly. In an extreme view a new electricity supply system only for cars is developed based on renewable energies.
