The development of automated charging solutions for electric cars that are embedded discreetly in the roadway represents - due to the particularly high level of user friendliness - a great opportunity for electric mobility as a whole and for the introduction of automated, load-oriented charging in particular.

ATES Vienna

For the complete decarbonization of district heating systems, the integration of seasonal heat storage must take place. From a technological point of view, high-temperature aquifer heat storage systems (HT-ATES) come into question here. The project enables the seasonal storage of heat from, for example, waste heat or excess energy.

Beyond

Developing and testing innovative, user-centered market designs applications beneficial to the system and grid-network for an integrated energy system using blockchain technology.

Large Scale Solar Integration Mürzzuschlag

Modernization & heat pump integration in the Saalfelden heating plant

In order to increase the share of renewable energy in the Saalfelden district heating network, work is currently underway on a comprehensive modernization of the Saalfelden heating plant.

Wien Spittelau High Temperature Heat Pump

The heat generated during combustion can be used more efficiently thanks to a heat pump system by cooling and condensing the flue gas. This saves water, CO2 and supplies 10,000 households with heat.

Virtual heating plant Gleisdorf

Through targeted optimization measures, the surplus biogas in a biogas CHP plant is intended to provide renewable electricity and heat.

100 % Renewable District Heating Leibnitz

The district heating supply for the city of Leibnitz and the surrounding communities will be massively expanded over the next few years - with 100% renewable energy. The central approach is the amalgamation of three heating network areas in order to enable the mutual exchange of heat. This ensures an efficient and resource-saving supply.
