【 摘 要 】

This paper describes the PhD project on service design in the energy market. More and more households invest in home energy generation facilitieslike solar panels. The generated energy can be used for their own energydemand, but delivery to the central energy network or other consumers is alsopossible. Households become producers, thus creating a new role in the energyvalue network. Energy-producing consumers (prosumers) need to be supportedin order to become a serious actor. This research focuses on the development ofan approach for designing energy-management services to support the role ofprosumers. The result will be a suite of guidelines, tools and methods that canbe used in the service design process.
