Founder Dennis Schulmeyer Highlights the Future of Bi-Directional Charging and AI-Driven Energy Management at LADE GmbH's Presentation.

Dennis Schulmeyer, founder of LADE GmbH, discusses the potential and challenges of bi-directional charging in energy management. He emphasizes that while this technology offers significant opportunities for reducing grid load through electric vehicles (EVs), it also presents complexities due to the variability of renewable energy sources like solar and wind. The transition towards more renewables necessitates rapid adaptation to avoid increased CO2 emissions and manage rising transport costs associated with energy distribution. Dennis highlights how AI can aid in predicting energy prices and demands, thus optimizing usage patterns across households and companies by making grids more resilient against disruptions such as hacking. By integrating intelligent systems into our power infrastructure, we can achieve greater efficiency without relying solely on static "if-then" algorithms. Through collaborations like BeFlex—a consortium involving various institutions—LADE is advancing bidirectional technologies aimed at peak shaving or reduction strategies for businesses. Attendees are encouraged to explore further insights at their booth during a fair showcasing these innovations alongside popcorn treats.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
