Im künftigen Smart Grid wird Strom nicht mehr zentral in großen Kraftwerken erzeugt, sondern zunehmend in kleinen dezentralen Einheiten. Selbst die Wohnhäuser werden zu Energieproduzenten. Photovoltaikmodule auf dem Dach oder der Fassade liefern direkt Strom, der dann ins Netz eingespeist wird. Außerdem sorgt intelligente Gebäudetechnik dafür, dass der Stromverbrauch der Gebäude erheblich sinkt durch eine bedarfsgerechtere Klima- und Lüftungstechnik etwa. In future Smart Grids, electricity will no longer be centrally generated in large power stations but increasingly in small, local units. Even residential buildings will become producers of electricity. Photovoltaic modules on the roof or facade will directly supply electricity which is then fed into the network. In addition, intelligent building technology will ensure a reduction in building power consumption, for example with more needs-based air conditioning and ventilation technology.
