鈥淗ow to make a capital smart鈥�
The EUREF-Campus in the German capital Berlin has become a showcase for efficient energy use, Michael Bauchm眉ller writes in S眉ddeutsche Zeitung. The campus combines existing technologies with a software that analyses weather data and regulates the use of renewable power capacities accordingly, Bauchm眉ller says. 鈥淲e already fulfil the climate protection goals of 2050 here 鈥� for the cost of conventional energy use,鈥� says Frank Mattat, manager at Berlin-based gas supplier Gasag. Researchers at the EUREF-Campus recently tested whether a decentralised on-site micro grid can cope with being cut off the city鈥檚 power grid by storing power stored in e-cars on the campus 鈥� and succeeded, Bauchm眉ller writes. EUREF founder Reinhard M眉ller says Germany鈥檚 Energiewende could already be much further advanced 鈥� 鈥渂ut we just leave the potential untapped."
