As the first transmission system operator, TenneT uses networked, decentralized home storage with the blockchain to stabilize the power grid. Flexible use of battery storage reduces network-stabilizing emergency measures. After a successful pilot phase, the blockchain technology can be further expanded through IBM's open source-based solution. In a second project in the Netherlands, together with Vandebron, TenneT uses the charging of electric vehicles to keep the balance between consumption and production stable. Both pilot projects are further steps to make the electricity network fit for the future.

Als erster Übertragungsnetzbetreiber nutzt TenneT mit der Blockchain vernetzte, dezentrale Heimspeicher zur Stabilisierung des Stromnetzes. Flexibler Einsatz von Batteriespeichern reduziert netzstabilisierende Notmaßnahmen. Nach erfolgreicher Pilotphase kann die Blockchain-Technologie über die Open Source- basierte Lösung von IBM weiter ausgebaut werden. In einem zweiten Projekt in den Niederlanden zusammen mit Vandebron, nutzt TenneT das Laden von Elektrofahrzeugen, um die Balance zwischen Verbrauch und Erzeugung stabil zu halten. Beide Pilotprojekte sind weitere Schritte um das Stromnetz fit für die Zukunft zu machen. TenneT taking power further www.tennet.eu www.tennet-virtual-vision.eu
