This lecture introduces a project aiming to analyze the impact of the Swiss energy strategy 2050 on the low-voltage grids in Bokrov, a small Swiss town. The project involves developing scenarios, load simulations, and future grid models, using different energy policy scenarios like POM, NEP, Utopia, and Dystopia. The lecture discusses the energy demand, solar potential, energy supply, and strategies for energy reduction, including the use of heat pumps, efficiency improvements, and electric cars. It also explores the challenges and opportunities of decentralized power generation, energy storage, and smart grid technologies, emphasizing the importance of early implementation to meet future energy demands.
