Balancing energy production and consumption in energy efficient smart neighbourhoods (e-balance)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2017,

Energy efficiency becomes crucial for rational consumption of the available resources and reduction of the CO2 production. But the reduction of energy consumption as the only remedy is only a partial solution. Similar, applying more environment-neutral or renewable energy sources without smart management systems may even cause failures in the energy grid or at least cause the energy to be wasted. ...
