Use Case
Virtual Power Plant in Mülheim
[...]
The intelligent load management of the Siedlungsmanagement system increases the degree of self-sufficiency in buildings which use it. This results in a lower demand for external energy, helping to reduce the burden on energy grids.
The ongoing energy revolution means that the electricity supply is going to be steadily decentralised. The virtual power plant supports this development, helping to replace coal and nuclear power plants with renewable energy systems and combined heat and power.
Use Case
Using mobile data to calculate air pollution
[...]
This is where smart data analysis can be helpful: Telefónica NEXT participated in a pilot project founded by Climate-KIC in a consortium with South Pole Group and Teralytics. In this project, a methodology to calculate air pollution load with the help of anonymized mobile data has been developed. The project showed promising results and Telefónica NEXT and its partners now start to provide comprehensive emission analysis for cities to contribute to their fight against air pollution. In opposition to conventional methods of measurement, this solution is based on an entirely different resource
