The project
The showcase region of WindNODE includes the transmission service operator 50 hertz network area and provides a real-life laboratory for a complete energy system. The central goal of WindNODE is to set the standard for the networked energy system of the future.
As a pioneer for renewable energy, the WindNODE region already meets the development goals set by the German government for 2025 with renewable energy making up 45% of consumed energy. Some regions have even surpassed the government's goal for 2050 (renewable energy at 80% of power consumption).
With over 70 partners, the consortium is strongly anchored in politics, the economy and society – receiving prominent support from the government leaders in all six participating German federal states.
The WindNODE project wants:
- to integrate a large amount of renewable electricity into the energy system and at the same time keep the electricity grids stable.
- to create standardized interfaces.
- to ensure data protection and security in an increasingly decentralized energy system.
WindNODE is the showcase of the German capital region and north-eastern Germany, in which the energy revolution made in Germany is visibly presented to the national and international public. Innovative, user-oriented products and services from industry 4.0 will be tested here in a large real laboratory in order to mature for the mass market and export.
