08 - Load shifting to incentivize renewable energy
How much CO2 emissions are attached to your electricity consumption?
↓ Open
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.
Presented by https://aliunid.com/
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)
All attendees, sponsors, partners, volunteers and staff at our hackathon are required to agree with the Hack Code of Conduct. Organisers will enforce this code throughout the event. We expect cooperation from all participants to ensure a safe environment for everybody. For more details on how the event is run, see the Guidelines on our wiki.
