In the GrECCo project, a grid-sensitive market mechanism for energy communities is to be developed that addresses the challenges of grid operation and thereby contributes to a reduction in the need for grid expansion and to solving congestion problems. Hochschule Offenburg is providing essential parts of the development and test environment with a distribution grid simulation and a prosumer laboratory environment and is also participating in the development of the new methods.
