“…A qualitative case analysis method is particularly suitable for the “how” research questions of this study as a relatively new phenomenon is investigated, where deep understanding of the cases themselves and their complex context is necessary (Yin, 2013). Furthermore, multicase studies and expert interviews are a frequently employed method to investigate new business models in the energy sector (Bolton & Hannon, 2016; Gsodam et al, 2015; Jiao & Evans, 2016; Khripko et al, 2017; Müller & Welpe, 2018).…”

“…Accordingly, the sustainable business model framework is chosen to investigate the sustainability of p2p energy communities on a meso level—capturing economic, environmental and social costs and benefits for a variety of stakeholders (Gauthier & Gilomen, 2016; Khripko et al, 2017; Wüstenhagen & Boehnke, 2008). As a conceptual foundation, this article draws on business model frameworks from Schaltegger et al (2015) and Bocken et al (2014), who divide business models into three main components: value proposition, value creation & delivery, and value capture.…”

Peer-to-peer energy (p2p) communities connect electricity consumers and producers on platforms allowing them to trade energy with each other. By synchronizing local production and consumption, connecting decentral actors, and creating new markets, they can promote a more sustainable energy system. A multicase study and expert interviews were conducted to investigate how the business models of these organizations operate and what value they may provide to stakeholders and the energy system. It was found that, due to current legislation, organizations in Germany mostly facilitate virtual, supraregional p2p energy communities. While these do not offer all the benefits of local p2p energy communities, they do facilitate a range of advantages to stakeholders and the overall energy system. Finally, it is concluded how sustainable business models can offer “system transition value,” driving the dissemination of new technologies, the redesign of markets, and the education of customers to foster a more sustainable energy system.

“…Anyhow, new approaches are under investigation, e.g., to enable applicability of flexibility analysis to high‐dimensional systems 87 or to perform flexibility analysis using machine learning tools 88. At the same time, economic business models and incentives, e.g., for providing flexibility not only in the short term, are often missing 89, 90.…”

Flexibility receives increased interest in chemical engineering and is discussed as one measure to deal with upcoming challenges for the chemical industry. In this paper, different types of flexibility are presented, and flexibility needs are illustrated. The focus is on the evaluation and classification of available solutions to enhance flexibility. Solutions and future challenges across all length scales of chemical engineering are discussed: from tailored catalyst properties to decoupling of processes by means of storage.

“…Hence, energy demand can be adapted to energy supply. It stabilises the energy system through the demand response on the one hand and increases the utilisation rate of renewable energy systems on the other hand [11,12]. Several different energy market designs and economic incentives are discussed in both the scientific literature and the political and regulatory decision-making bodies dealing with flexible pricing models [13,14].…”

Economic Multiple Model Predictive Control for HVAC Systems—A Case Study for a Food Manufacturer in Germany

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The following paper describes an economical, multiple model predictive control (EMMPC) for an air conditioning system of a confectionery manufacturer in Germany. The application consists of a packaging hall for chocolate bars, in which a new local conveyor belt air conditioning system is used and thus the temperature and humidity limits in the hall can be significantly extended. The EMMPC calculates the optimum energy or cost humidity and temperature set points in the hall. For this purpose, time-discrete state space models and an economic objective function with which it is possible to react to flexible electricity prices in a cost-optimised manner are created. A possible future electricity price model for Germany with a flexible Renewable Energies levy (EEG levy) was used as a flexible electricity price. The flexibility potential is determined by variable temperature and humidity limits in the hall, which are oriented towards the comfort field for easily working persons, and the building mass. The building mass of the created room model is used as a thermal energy store. Considering the electricity price and weather forecasts as well as an internal, production plan-dependent load forecasts, the model predictive controller directly controls the heating and cooling register and the humidifier of the air conditioning system.
