Hive visualizer: evaluate local impact of future scenarios with high penetration of electromobility and renewable energy

The transition to renewables as well as the electrification of mobility and heating are disrupting the energy system. New challenges include meeting the increasing electricity demand with decentralized renewable energy production, upgrade the existing network infrastructure to ensure the required quality of supply and reduce the CO₂ emissions in order to reach the climate goals for 2050. To address these challenges, a decentralized architecture is needed and it can be based on the so-called cellular approach (i.e. energy cells). However, decision makers do not have access to comprehensive and fact driven simulations for such a complex energy systems. HIVE Visualizer is a novel and interactive approach, based on a foundation of solid research and modern data science, which provides decision makers with understandable indicators about the impact of different future scenarios on the three pillars of the energy transition: local energy consumption, network infrastructure requirements and environmental impact. Thus, to identify the required measures and the optimal regulatory framework for a smooth and efficient energy transition.
