Digitization of the Distribution Grid to Support e-Mobility Charging Infrastructure

The article addresses a subproject of the Energy ECS project [1], in which the development and realization of suitable components for condition monitoring of electrical distribution grids is carried out. By means of suitable sensor systems, communication and IT infrastructure components, relevant information on network infrastructure elements at neuralgic points is collected, aggregated and communicated. This information can be used directly for a highly dynamic grid-serving control of grid components to ensure a robust and efficient use of the distribution grid. The project makes a direct contribution to the digitization of distribution grids and thus contributes to the successful integration of decentralized generators and electromobility. The main objective of the subproject is the development and realization of energy-autonomous sensor systems for recording the status of relevant components of a low-voltage distribution network. The work to be carried out includes sensor principles as well as the field of energy harvesting or the field of sensor signal processing.
