WindNODE results
As part of the WindNODE project, Energie Saxony carried out an analysis of the development of the energy transition in the European context in order to network WindNODE project partners and pioneering projects.
As the coordinator of a permanent cooperation network in the Saxon energy sector, Energy Saxony supported the WindNODE showcase project in the areas of internationalization, the development of unused synergy potential as well as communication and external presentation and identified European projects that addressed at least one of the following core topics as part of a mapping process:
- Pilot region for the use of high volumes of wind energy feed-in
- Flexibility in industry and supply, in retail and trade or in households
- Flexibility marketing
- Electrification of the heating or transport sector
- Redesign of the energy market to utilize flexibility
- Virtual power plants
- Digitization in distribution grids
- Second-life concepts for battery stacks
