1 3 rd Energy Symposium - Cabo Verde meets Germany We help make Energy Systems 100% Renewable Easy Smart Grid GmbH Praia, Dr.-Ing. Thomas Walter, Founder and Managing Director

4 Company introduction Experience: PV integration (Maldives project 640 kw+++) Founded 2014 in Karlsruhe, Baden-Wuerttemberg 100% owned by Dr. Thomas Walter Top 3 in 2014 EIT-Digital European Smart Energy Challenge Focus: Smart & Simple ICT, confirmed by experts including Technology (Eifer/Edf, Max Planck Institute) Economics (KIT) Implementation (DFKI) Now: Bring innovation into real life 4

5 ICT is the new energy bottleneck Smart Grid 2.0 improves performance Full Data Security Very Resilient Much Lower CAPEX Ready for 100% RE Much Lower OPEX Simple to Operate 5

6 New challenges - Storage and ICT New solutions - DSM and Smart Grid 2.0 Load 6 a.m. Load Shifting PV Storage 12 a.m. 6 p.m. The challenge Use more Renewables Absorb generation peaks, don t curtail 50% Pay less For fossil energy, storage and ICT Smart Grid 1.0 Collect data Smart Grid 2.0 ICT coordinates flexible loads, generation and storage 6

8 The economic way to 100% RE: Use already paid RE Estimates % RE Curtailed GWh/a Cost of fuel /kwh Curtailed value M /a Sal Sao Vicente Boa Vista Otherwise curtailed energy can be for free It can be used by demand response (DR) DR from water pumping, desalination, cooling, ice-making. Customers and energy companies can benefit from savings Variable prices that reflect current generation cost EU requires variable end customer prices in the near future ARE: tariffs should reflect cost of generation mix Source of numbers and ARE quote: Zielmarktanalyse Kap Verde 2017 AHK Portugal, partly based on JICA analysis

9 More RE needs Real Time Markets Smart Grid 2.0 implements them Generation < load Load < generation Increase price until rebalanced Reduce price until rebalanced Flexible generators Flexible consumers Storage devices Shift generation to high price times Shift consumption to low price times Charge at low, discharge at high price ECOGRID on Bornholm Island/DK has demonstrated this ICT investment over 10 M (collect, process and communicate data) CHP (Combined Heat and Power plants) react to price (every 5 Min.) 9

10 Flexible loads reduce storage cost Smart Grid 2.0 reduces ICT cost (~0,40 ) (~0,20 ) 10

11 Smart Grid 2.0 helps you to use RE that has to be curtailed today 11

12 Flexible loads are virtual batteries Both energy system and customer save money SOC Controller old Aktuator SOC Electricity price Controller new Aktuator Implementation of price based load management 12

13 100% Renewables is the goal Migration is done step by step Low hanging fruit 1 st pilot Use otherwise curtailed RE More RE Install more RE Batteries to improve grid stability 3. Full functionality Easy Smart Grid to balance energy supply and demand 13

15 We are part of Smart Grid 2.0 E.g. Eifer which also works on Islands

16 Company experience and achievements Electrical industry experience since 1981 Network Smart Grid 2.0 to cover all system parts RE generation sun and wind project developers Simulation and engineering Flexible loads: work with equipment suppliers of heating and cooling, pumping and desalination, battery storage Ready for first pilot project In Cabo Verde? European and non-european islands And remote micro grids in America, Africa, Australia and Asia 16

18 If you work on 100% RE: Our ICT will to help you do it Harvest curtailed energy Go 100% RE faster (ICT, regulation, migration) Bring ICT expertise to VC partners Show that DSM works in private and public grids Bring knowhow to Ecowas with CV partners
