The focus of the national project lies on the current refrigerant application situation and on an outlook until 2030 on the availability of components and systems.
IEA UsersTCP: Social License to Automate (working period 2019-2021)
Automation applications for load shifting, also in the homes of end customers, will play an important role in the current transformation process of the energy system. The project “Social License to Automate” examined the question, which aspects are important for the success of these innovations and technologies, and under which circumstances end users are prepared to accept or reject energy-related automation processes.
