In 2008, the Smart Watts project won the E-Energy competition
as one of six sample regions. One of the syndicate members is
Kellendonk Elektronik.
By using innovative information and communication
technologies, a balance between energy production and
consumption is to be assured to make German sites
future-proof.
Kellendonk Elektronik's task in this pilot project with its
EUR 160m budget is developing a communication base (BUS
system) and electronics that can
be used to control the device based on pre-defined parameters
("wash when power is cheaper" or "wash only using solar energy
from my town"). This increases not only the respective
benefits for each individual customer, but also improves
Germany's energy system efficiency. The smart, mostly
self-controlling components are to be realised as plug and
play adapters for old devices and as integrative components
for new ones.
Our independence as an electronics developer enables us to develop one electronics module for all manufacturers and suppliers. Our long experience with all key markets provides us with an opportunity for innovative solutions. This results in an energy political triad of security of supply, environmental compatibility and efficiency.
