Zusammenfassung

In diesem Beitrag wird die Notwendigkeit einer sinnvollen Definition und Klarstellung der Disziplin Energieinformatik aufgezeigt. Der Beitrag diskutiert verschiedene bestehende Definitionen und stellt sie in den Kontext des Anforderungsmanagements und der Lösungsfindung. Er motiviert die Notwendigkeit eines strukturierten disziplinären Ansatzes in der Energieinformatik auf der Grundlage bestehender Probleme und skizziert den aktuellen Stand des Stands der Wissenschaft und Technik, der hauptsächlich den systemtechnischen Anwendungsbereich für Smart Grids umfasst. Synergien mit anderen aktuellen Schwerpunktthemen wie Internet der Dinge (IoT), Industrie 4.0 (Digitalisierung der Produktion) und Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) werden aus Anforderungssicht motiviert. Auf der Grundlage der aufgeworfenen Fragen und Herausforderungen werden neue sinnvolle Forschungsthemen für ein durchgängiges Anforderungsmanagement im Kontext Smart Grid diskutiert.

Abstract

In this paper, the need for a meaningful definition and clarification of the discipline of energy informatics is pointed out. The paper discusses various existing definitions and puts them into the context of requirements management and solution spaces finding. It motivates the need for a structured disciplinary approach in energy informatics based on existing problems and outlines the current state of the art in science and technology, which mainly covers the systems engineering application area for Smart Grids. Synergies with other current priority topics such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0 (digitization of production) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are motivated from a requirements perspective. Based on the questions and challenges raised, new meaningful research topics for integrated requirements management in the context of the Smart Grid will be discussed.
