Mathematical methods of image processing and Condition Monitoring play a key role in industrial production – in our »Re(Pro)³« project we show how predictive models help to reduce waste and optimize processes sustainably.

Kaiserslautern. Dynamic Electricity Prices and Flexibility Marketing for the Floating Energy Community Schoonschip

March 10, 2025 esther.packullat ECMI Nodes, Featured, Kaiserslautern, Project in focus, Renewable energy, Sustainable Energies

The Schoonschip energy community is an association of 30 floating houses with photovoltaic systems, heat pumps and battery storage units in a side arm of the IJ canal, north of Amsterdam. What makes it special is the innovative technologies that enable the members to manage their energy supply collectively. Since 2018, for example, they have been able to maximize the use of their own energy generation by integrating the Amperix energy management system developed at the Fraunhofer ITWM and thus jointly reduce the amount of energy they still need to purchase.
