The green transition relies on digital energy data

Major parts of society are currently undergoing comprehensive digitalisation. However, digitalisation has not yet had a large impact when it comes to buildings and private residences, especially those of an earlier date.

Researchers from the Department of Computer Science collaborate in a number of projects with companies and colleagues from Europe to develop new technologies and standards that will turn existing buildings increasingly “energy smart”.

The researchers primarily develop concepts and solutions that enable private consumers and companies to consume energy in a more flexible manner. This will make it possible to reduce the overall energy consumption and further an increased use of renewable energy sources resulting in a reduction in CO2 emission.

Below examples of the many project activities:

  • A common platform and a common “language” for data enabling the intelligent interoperability and control of different devices and sensors in our homes (domOS).
  • The first Danish data lake containing energy data supporting a more efficient use of the flexibility in the power grid (FED).
  • A platform supporting the trading of flexibility in existing and emerging electricity markets (FEVER).
  • An open standard for flexibility (FlexOffers) ensuring a better match between consumption and production of renewable energy (GOFLEX, FEVER, FED, domOS).
  • A new national digital energy collaboration between technical universities and companies (Digital Energy Hub).
