Abstract:

The term "smart energy" is used to summarise various components that will be necessary for the intelligent control of the future, increasingly decentralised energy supply. This includes "all intelligent technologies for energy generation, energy storage, power transmission and consumption control. The entire value chain from power generation to power consumption is thus addressed. Smart terms have been coined for some of these technologies in recent years. For example, the term smart grid stands for intelligent electricity transmission and distribution, while the terms smart metering and smart home stand for the control of consumer behaviour
