Abstract:
Climate change is one of the most important social issues of recent years. Ever new scientific insights and political decisions make it clear that innovative ways of attacking the climate change are needed. Minimizing emissions are especially important in order to stop the greenhouse effect and thus a source for global warming. Therefore, the software of the CO2-Compass was developed to provide a transparent overview of the electricity production and related CO2 emissions. Containing the service of a 24 hour forecast of these data, the CO2-Compass serves as a control tool to decide when electrical devices should be used from an ecological point of view. This paper strives to improve the existing architecture of the tool, by adding new sources of data collection and thus optimize the outcome of all offered services by the CO2-Compass. Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to improve the existing architecture of the first monomythical prototype towards a flexible and expandable microservice based architecture.
