The Bürger Energie Genossenschaft (BEG) Freising is now digitizing the energy transition in the district with the digital citizen power plant.
District - The clear diagram shows the joint generation of the BEG-FS power plant park consisting of eight solar systems and the Kammerberg wind turbine.
The current performance, shown in a diagram, is available to everyone at any time on the Internet at www.BEG-FS.de/Buerger-Kraftwerk.
The parts
Beginning in 2013, BEG Freising has steadily expanded its power plant portfolio in the hands of the citizen.
Board member Werner Hillebrand explains: “It currently consists of eight solar systems with a total output of 2.4 megawatts.
These include seven roof systems and the Paunzhausen community solar park next to the A 9 motorway in the open space. ”Another component of the community power plant is the Kammerberg community wind turbine with an output of three megawatts.
Hillebrand: "In terms of the energy economy, this creates a local citizen power plant, the systems and types of generation of which complement each other perfectly." Digital solutions such as the citizen power plant are often referred to as virtual power plants.
“They are the link on the way to a one hundred percent renewable energy supply,” says Werner Hillebrand.
In this way, individual generation plants become "a joint power plant that provides valuable services for energy supply in terms of climate protection".
BEG Freising has had the citizens' power plant programmed by the specialist Consolinno Energy GmbH from Regensburg to inform members, politicians and the public about the energy transition using the latest technology and is making the data publicly available.
Hillebrand: “In this way, it supports decision-makers and actors involved in the energy transition in further rapid and efficient implementation.
The memory requirement
The Bürger-Kraftwerk "makes it clear in a simple and emphatic manner that sun and wind complement each other very well over the course of the year, week and day," explains the BEG board: "In summer, the sun has a large share in generation, the wind in winter and at night.
The storage requirement can be minimized through a smart mix of renewable energies. in kilowatt hours).
Hillebrand continues: "To compensate for differences in consumption and generation, load shifting when charging e-cars, heating with heat pumps and in industry is currently the most economical solution." In the future, storage systems for daily and weekly balancing would become increasingly important Role-play.

The BEG informs
■
Renewable energies are the mainstay of Germany's power supply today, with over 50 percent of generation.
■
In order to limit the temperature rise to the Paris target of 1.5˚C, a determined expansion to 100 percent and a far-reaching conversion from mobility and heating to electricity by 2035 are necessary.
■
The decarbonization of the entire energy supply is possible.
In order to make the further expansion efficient, tools such as the digital citizen power plant are of central importance.
