Individual aims of AÜW GmbH

By participating in the project, the Allgäuer Überlandwerk GmbH is aiming to:

• Test the use of electric vehicles to the extent envisaged by the German government for 2020 in a real-life distribution network.
• Optimize the design of distribution networks with e-mobility and renewable energy in mind.
• Research how much metering and control technology will be required in the distribution network to cope with fluctuating loads.
• Develop forecasting models and development scenarios for feed-in, usage and e-mobility.
• Set up simulation technology, including a scenario database for partially automated grid computation.
• Identify ways of improving operation and control of the grid.
• Use cost-effective information and communication technologies as tools for smart grids.
• Develop future market models.
• Increase economic potential by creating value regionally.
• Identify grid disturbances resulting from the use of renewable energy and electric vehicles.
