The composition of electricity production (renewable / non-renewable) as well as electricity imports fluctuate in time. Using electricity in the right moment may potentially help to incentivise the production of renewable energy.

The Challenge

• Analyze the causal relationships between time of energy consumption and impacts on energy production
• Create a metric according to which electrical load can be shifted to set the right incentives towards more renewable energy
• Investigate what such a metric means in practice, i.e. in case of e-vehicle charging

Data Sets available

• ENTSO-E electricity production data (https://transparency.entsoe.eu/)
• Swissgrid Import/Export data (https://www.swissgrid.ch/de/home/operation/grid-data/generation.html)
• CO2 emission factors per production type and country (https://drive.switch.ch/index.php/s/RIixVBbccBwLGAy)
• E-charging dataset 1 (shared via Slack)
• E-charging dataset 2 (shared via Slack)
