available without sufficient available energy storage or when the latter is full, then the
energy shall be consumed.
As such in a dynamic network, it is imaginable to decrease the cooling temperature and
store energy in a thermal way or domestically start energy intensive processes like for
instance the use of the washing machine or the dryer.
The opposite scenario is however also possible, when e.g. during the night there is a
shortage of renewable energy as no solar energy is available. In this case one can on the
one hand fuel the electrical vehicle with the stored energy and on the other hand increase
the cooling temperature.
Load Management thus enables an efficient use of energy resources.
Renewable energies can be used more extensively and there is a lower need for energy
storage (of which large numbers and capacity is not yet available).

6 Integration of renewable energies

The amount of renewable energy producers in projects is continuously increasing. In this
paragraph we therefore focus on the integration of such producers.
