At Light+Building from 30 March to 4 April 2014, a special show, ‘Smart Powered Building – Your Building in the Smart Grid’, will show future-oriented technologies suitable for this purpose that can be controlled efficiently in the smart grid with the aid of intelligent energy-management systems. This is the second time that the special show, which is organised by Messe Frankfurt and the German Association of the Electrical and Electronics Industry (Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie e.V. – ZVEI), has been held at the world’s leading trade fair for lighting and building-services technology.
Maria Hasselman, Director Brand Management Light+Building: “At the special show, we want to demonstrate market-ready systems and technologies necessary for the successful integration of decentralised energy technology. We attach particular importance to solutions that are worthwhile in both ecological and economic terms. Following the extremely positive echo from the première in 2012, we have extended the exhibition and integrated additional interactive elements.”
The special show focuses on commercial buildings whereby the emphasis in 2014 will be on the various options of storing energy and smooth communication at the interfaces to the smart grid. The exhibition is aimed at property owners, developers, architects, planners, artisans and all specialists involved in the construction and use of buildings.
Mobile container architecture is at the core of the special show. Real examples show how combinations of different systems for the production of electricity, e.g., photovoltaic or wind energy with stores, such as batteries, heat or cooling-energy accumulators, can contribute to a more independent energy supply for buildings. The link to the electricity network demonstrates how excess electricity can be fed into the network while energy-management systems ensure optimum energy flows. In a kind of control room, the potential of intelligent networks in five typical commercial properties – sports centre, production plant, supermarket, office building and hotel – will be simulated on the basis of weather data from Frankfurt. Trade visitors will be able to select combinations of energy sources, store devices and electricity consumers and receive the corresponding monthly or annual energy consumption and generation data for their parameters.
