    Given the increasingly volatile prices on the power markets, it becomes economically more and more important for companies to develop and realize flexible strategies for energy consumption. A steady adaption of production processes which considers current power prices can take place on several levels of the automation pyramid, where each level has its own characteristics and requirements. In this paper, we present an optimization architecture based on an IT-platform which meets the challenges of complex multilayered production processes. We introduce layer-specific optimization strategies as well as an associated information flow, which facilitates creating holistic and well-coordinated optimizations.

    Der langfristige Verzicht auf fossile und nukleare Energiequellen und die zunehmende Nutzung erneuerbarer Energien bei der Stromerzeugung führen zu einer volatileren Stromversorgung. In Abhängigkeit von externen Realitäten betont die Produktion erneuerbarer Energien die Notwendigkeit von Maßnahmen, die das notwendige Gleichgewicht von Angebot und Nachfrage im Elektrizitätssystem jederzeit gewährleisten. Energieintensive Industrieprozesse umfassen theoretisch hohe Demand-Response-Potenziale, die geeignet sind, diese zunehmende Liefervolatilität zu bewältigen. Dennoch betreiben die meisten Unternehmen ihre Produktion aus mehreren Gründen nicht flexibel: Unter anderem mangelt es den Unternehmen an Know-how, Technologien und einem klaren Business Case, um eine zusätzliche Flexibilität in ihren Produktionsprozessen einzuführen mögliche Auswirkungen auf ihre Prozesse durch Variation des Strombedarfs und Unterstützung bei der Ausnutzung ihrer Flexibilität. Neben der Förderung von Wissen in Industrieunternehmen ist eine IT-Lösung erforderlich, die Unternehmen dabei unterstützt, das Demand-Response-Potenzial ihrer Prozesse zu nutzen. Das Konzept muss Unternehmen dabei unterstützen, die energieflexiblen Produktionsprozesse von Unternehmen zu steuern und diese Potenziale in Flexibilitätsmärkten zu monetarisieren. Dieses Arbeitspapier stellt ein Konzept vor, das sowohl Unternehmen als auch Energiemärkte integriert. Es ermöglicht den automatisierten Handel des Demand-Response-Potenzials von Unternehmen auf verschiedenen Flexibilitätsmärkten.

    Abandoning fossil and nuclear energy sources in the long run and increasing amount of renewable energies in electricity production causes a more volatile power supply. Depending on external realities, renewable energy production emphasizes the need for measures to guarantee the necessary balance of demand and supply in the electricity system at all times. Energy intensive industry processes theoretically include high Demand Response potentials suitable to tackle this increasing supply volatility. Nevertheless, most companies do not operate their production in a flexible manner due to multiple reasons: among others, the companies lack know-how, technologies and a clear business case to introduce an additional level of flexibility into their production processes, they are concerned about po ssible impacts on their processes by varying the electricity demand and need assistance in exploiting their flexibility. Aside from fostering knowledge in industry companies, an IT-solution that supports companies to use their processes Demand Response potential has become necessary. Its concept must support companies in managing companies energy-flexible production processes and monetarize those potentials at flexibility markets. This paper presents a concept, which integrates both companies and energy markets. It enables automated trading of companies Demand Response potential on different flexibility markets.

    Based on the goal of exiting nuclear and fossil energies within the electricity generation, the percentage of renewable energies in the energy mix rises. Due to renewable energies' dependence on natural resources like sun or wind this development leads to a volatile energy supply on the markets. To satisfy their customers' needs even with a volatile energy supply, especially companies of the manufacturing sector need to consider this development. Production processes need to be developed further to be more energy efficient and to be adaptable in their energy demand to volatile supply. This includes being operable on various power levels or with different kinds of energy such as electricity or gas. Energy-flexible production processes need to be supported by flexible IT solutions. While there are already solutions for demand-side-management on the company side as well as on the market side, there are no holistic solutions yet, allowing for integration regardless of company or market boundaries. Therefore, this paper presents the concept of a service-oriented architecture for a flexible IT-platform to synchronize energy demands with volatile markets. A holistic approach allows for integration of companies as well as energy markets and enables an automated and efficient exploitation of demand response potentials.
