Use Case

Baumwollspinnerei Microgrid Simulation

Leipzig, Germany (2022)
Scale: City Level
The integration of Baumwollspinnerei asset data into the LSW virtual power plant allows for the simulation of live traded energy quantities based on spot market prices. The system calculates the real-time and forecasted economic potential of surplus trade with these assets.

Challenge / Goal

  • Need for flexibility due to fluctuating supply with renewable energy sources
  • Uncertainty of economic viability of surplus trade

Solution

  • Baumwollspinnerei asset data is integrated into the virtual power plant.
  • Distributed energy assets at Baumwollspinnerei, which are still under construction, are simulated in the virtual power plant.
  • The system includes 71 kWp photovoltaic assets and a 100 kW cogeneration plant.
  • A forecasting system was developed to accurately quantify the energy generation for the next 24 hours.
  • Spot market prices are obtained to calculate the real-time value of the generated electricity.
  • The simulation enables precise quantification of the potential of surplus trading between the generation assets of Baumwollspinnerei and the virtual power plant.
