Space-Time Insight Adds Renewable Energy Analytics to the EWE enera Project
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Real-Time Visual Analytics Enables Next Big Step Towards Germany's Goal of 45
Percent Renewable Energy by 2030
SAN MATEO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 15, 2015) - Space-Time Insight, the leading
provider of situational intelligence solutions, has joined the enera project
from EWE aimed at increasing the integration of distributed and renewable energy
sources across EWE's service territory in northwest Germany. EWE has applied for
project funding from the German Ministry for Economics. The project will
encompass EUR 200 million in funding and investments from the project partners.
One of the largest utility companies in Germany, EWE provides about 1.3 million
customers with electricity and 1.7 million customers with natural gas. EWE has
also been a leader in renewable energy for more than 30 years. Germany has a
goal of 45 percent renewable energy by 2030 and 80 percent by 2050. Currently,
renewable energy accounts for approximately 28 percent of the country's
consumption.
The enera project seeks to speed EWE and Germany's transition to a smart grid
that encompasses new technologies, new market mechanisms and a more consistent,
transparent energy information system. These innovations will, in part, increase
the integration of small-scale, local renewable energy sources into the wider
grid. The EWE service territory generates 70 percent more energy than it
consumes thanks to renewable resources such as wind energy and biogas.
"You can reduce the use of conventional power plants for grid stability only if
you are fully aware of reliable, forecasted local renewables," says Christian
Arnold, Managing Director for the enera project. "Space-Time Insight's customers
already incorporate renewable integration into an advanced smart grid, for
example in Sacramento, California. This inspired us to pursue renewable energy
analytics for our enera project."
Space-Time Insight offers real-time visual analytics applications that correlate
data from multiple, disparate data sources to solve complex challenges such as
optimising capital investments, reducing outages and improving regulatory
compliance. As part of the enera project, Space-Time Insight will help EWE
identify and capitalise on near-term opportunities for renewables integration,
as well as establish analytical and visualisation capabilities across the Smart
Grid and Smart Markets.
"We're honored to work with EWE on a project as innovative as enera," said Mike
Lewis, General Manager for Space-Time Insight in Europe. "Reliable and
widespread renewable energy is a key economic and environmental challenge that
offers many benefits. We're confident that, working together on enera, we can
make a huge difference for customers and businesses in northwest Germany and
beyond."
