    Das Kopernikus-Projekt SynErgie entwickelt eine IT-Plattform, die automatisierten und standardisierten Handel mit industriell bereitgestellter Energieflexibilität ermöglichen soll. Wie diese Plattform funktionieren könnte, zeigt das Diskussionspapier ""Konzept der Energiesynchronisationsplattform"": Die zunehmende Nutzung von Strom aus erneuerbaren Quellen führt aufgrund der Wetterabhängigkeit von Wind und Sonne zu einem zunehmend volatileren Stromangebot. Damit das notwendige Gleichgewicht von Angebot und Nachfrage im Elektrizitätssystem jederzeit gewährleistet werden kann, sind Maßnahmen zum Ausgleich dieser Schwankungen notwendig. Energieintensive Industrieprozesse beinhalten ein hohes Flexibilitätspotenzial, um mittels Demand-Response, diesen Schwankungen zu begegnen. SynErgie arbeitet daran, den gesamte Prozess des Energieflexibilitätshandels von der Maschine bis an die Märkte auf einer IT-Plattform zu automatisieren und zu standardisieren. Die Energiesynchronisationsplattform besteht aus zwei logischen Teilplattformen, einer Markt- und vielen Unternehmensplattformen. Ziel bis Mitte 2022 ist es, ein durchgängiges Konzept einschließlich des Daten- und Informationsflusses von der Maschine bis zu den Energiemärkten zu entwickeln und in einer Referenzarchitektur abzubilden. Außerdem soll das Konzept im Rahmen einer Vielzahl von Forschungs- und Industriedemonstratoren und insbesondere in der Modellregion Augsburg mit lokalen Akteuren in einem umfassenden Testbetrieb erprobt werden. Mehr zur Energiesynchronisationsplattform, der Markt- und Unternehmensplattform, zur Informationssicherheit der IT-Plattformen, Anwendungsbeispielen und den Zukunftsvisionen können Sie im Diskussionspapier nachlesen.

    The growing share of renewable energy generation based on fluctuating wind and solar energy sources is increasingly challenging in terms of power grid stability. Industrial demand-side response presents a promising way to balance energy supply and consumption. For this, energy demand is flexibly adapted based on external incentives. Thus, companies can economically benefit and at the same time contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, there are currently some major obstacles that impede industrial companies from taking part in the energy markets. A broad specification analysis systematically dismantles the existing barriers. On this foundation, a new end-to-end ecosystem of an energy synchronization platform is introduced. It consists of a business-individual company-side platform, where suitable services for energy-oriented manufacturing are offered. In addition, one market-side platform is established as a mediating service broker, which connects the companies to, e.g., third party service providers, energy suppliers, aggregators, and energy markets. The ecosystems aim at preventing vendor lock-in and providing a flexible solution, relying on open standards and offering an integrated solution through an end-to-end energy flexibility data model. In this article, the resulting functionalities are discussed and the remaining deficits outlined.

    Industrial demand response uses a multitude of energy flexibility measures. Their planning and control requires various production IT systems. A widely accepted approach to classify these inhouse IT systems are the levels of the automation pyramid in companies. This paper broadens the scope of this concept to overcome the limitation to companies' (virtual) borders by including required IT systems that refine and monetarize a company's energy flexibility, e.g. energy markets, aggregators, etc. Therefore, a holistic approach for the classification of functionalities for industrial demand response across companies and energy markets is developed and applied exemplarily.

    In this article, we present a new descriptive model for industrial flexibility with respect to power consumption. The advancing digitization in the energy sector opens up new possibilities for utilizing and automatizing the marketing of flexibility potentials and therefore facilitates a more advanced energy management. This requires a standardized description and modeling of power-related flexibility. The data model in this work has been developed in close collaboration with several partners from different industries in the context of a major German research project. A suitable set of key figures allows for also describing complex production processes that exhibit interdependencies and storage-like properties. The data model can be applied to other areas as well, e.g., power plants, plug-in electric vehicles, or power-related flexibility of households.

    Supporting communication and cooperation in the asylum procedure with Blockchain technology - A proof of concept by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees

    The proof of concept showed that the use of Blockchain technology could support cross-organisational communication and cooperation in the asylum procedure. In addition, Blockchain could provide an important foundation for the establishment of digital identities and allow an asylum seeker's procedure to be tracked based on this identity. Admittedly, not all applicable data protection regulations were fully implemented in the proof of concept. However, the findings gained as part of the project provide a promising basis for the development of a Blockchain-based solution for the asylum procedure that complies with data protection requirements. Moreover, the developed concept could scale beyond Germany's borders. Blockchain-based, transnational management of asylum procedures could therefore become a joint project of the European member states to strengthen cooperation while safeguarding federal structures. This means that Blockchain technology could be the start of digital federalism in Europe (including the asylum procedure).

    Complying with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) poses significant challenges for blockchain projects, including establishing clear responsibilities for compliance, securing lawful bases for processing personal data, and observing rights to rectification and erasure. We describe how Germanys Federal Office for Migration and Refugees addressed these challenges and created a GDPR-compliant blockchain solution for cross-organizational workflow coordination. Based on the lessons learned, we provide three recommendations for ensuring blockchain solutions are GDPR-compliant.

    (How) Can Blockchain Contribute to the Management of Systemic Risks in Global Supply Networks?

    Even though globalization has led to larger, faster, and more efficient supply chains, at the same time the new worldwide interconnection has also resulted in major challenges with respect to hidden systemic risks. In particular, there is a lack of a holistic perspective on the entire supply network. This missing global view prohibits the anamnesis and management of underlying risks. Against this backdrop, in this paper we discuss the potential contributions of Blockchain technology to systemic risk management in global supply chains and networks. Given the increasing number of recent initiatives of businesses in the context of Blockchain, we argue that Blockchain technology can lower the hurdle for the use of secure multiparty computation. Ultimately, it may be possible to implement a corresponding monitoring mechanism for systemic risks without (i) the need of a central authority and (ii) revealing competition relevant, confidential information to other supply network participants.
