The AtEne software, developed at the University of Wuppertal, has been nominated for the Electrifying Ideas Award by the German Electro and Digital Industry Association (ZVEI). This innovative software project aims to expand and convert energy grids efficiently at a local level. Although it did not win the award, the project was recognized at the ceremony in Berlin for its potential benefits to society. The software, currently in development, offers automated and cross-sectoral energy master planning for municipalities, municipal utilities, and distribution network operators, considering electricity, heating, hydrogen, and natural gas networks. This planning tool is crucial to accelerating the energy transition and avoiding unnecessary construction sites and additional costs. By collaborating with ten grid operators and five municipalities, the AtEne project aims to create a diverse data basis that will enable tailored forecasting and planning for energy infrastructure developments in different neighborhoods. Funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, the project is halfway through its three-year duration and is expected to provide cost savings and planning efficiency for various stakeholders involved in energy transition efforts.
