How can Austrian expertise in smart grids be strengthened?
Austrian expertise in smart grids should be strengthened by flagship projects and made visible internationally. The Technology Platform provides a running range of information or working on current and strategic smart grids questions.
What is technology platform smart grids Austria?
The Technology Platform Smart Grids Austria is an association of relevant stakeholders in the field of electrical power supply.
Can supermarkets become active components of a smart grid?
Using cooling energy as a “battery” integrated in the electricity grid provides great potential for improving integration of fluctuating renewable energy sources, such as wind power and photovoltaics. Supermarkets can therefore become active components of a smart grid scenario.
How does the smart grid work?
The voltage regulation concepts developed in the DG DemoNetz project concept show that smart grid opera- tion using regulation and control measures in the distri- bution grid enables greater reserves in the existing grid infrastructure to be used.
