REsys – Smart control strategies to improve the energy efficiency of complex hybrid energy systems
Hybrid energy systems are systems that combine different energy sources, energy distribution and storage in a compact system. The knowledge of the interdependencies and interactions between system components is the basis for the optimal design and the energy efficient operation of future and existing hybrid systems. Today empirical data from non-hybrid systems is used for […]
Energiestrategie ASFINAG
The goal of the study was the methodical identification of renewable energy potential in consideration of energy efficiency at the company ASFINAG. Based on that, a strategy for energy efficiency and renewable energy was developed. The energy and sustainability strategy is a basis for identifying future implementation projects. Possible implementations were examined and evaluated based […]
AR-HES-B – Energy storage, production and recovery of valuable substances in waste water treatment plants
The overall project goal of the AR-HES-B project is the technology rearrangement of the municipal wastewater treatment plant in order to transform the municipal wastewater treatment plant from a high energy consumer towards an optimal integrated hybrid energy provider, energy storage and resource provider in the urban environment. Via the AR-HES-B concepts the municipal sewage […]
IEA EBC Annex 67 „Energy Flexible Buildings“
In the future, the high share of renewable energy sources in electrical power and district heating grids will force the transition from a purely demand-oriented energy production (“generation on demand”) to a production-oriented demand respectively consumption (“consumption on demand”). This is also rational and necessary for the promotion of more accurate direct use of short-term […]
Development of a discussion paper
The development of a branch specific discussion paper for the food industry which examines the R&D demand for increasing the energy efficiency in the production. The branch specific trends and as a consequence thereof new and future demands will be examined. The R&D demand for energy efficiency will be presented for short, medium and long […]

TrustEE – innovative market based Trust for Energy Efficiency investments in industry
Many promising industrial energy efficiency and renewable projects lack viable financing due to insufficient performance or credit guarantees, a lack of ability/capacity among lenders to assess project risks, or related financing challenges. Even when technological or non-technological barriers are removed, investment conditions still hold as a key barrier to a further market penetration and to […]
SolarAutomotive – Solar process heat for automotive and supplying industry
Solar Automotive is a bilateral project between Germany and Austria. The following project objectives were defined: To achieve these objectives 8 Austrian (+12 German) companies in the automotive and supplier industry will be analyzed in detail to identify optimised integration concepts at the process level (analysis of processes, efficiency measures, feasibility analysis of the solar […]
UNIDO Ship Biomass

Innovative membrane distillation for gold and palladium recovery in the PCB industry
Valuable precious metals such as gold and palladium are used for surface treatment in electroplating processes in the printed circuit board industry. In these processes, there is no need to rinse the plated printed circuit board after the actual active bath. This results in large amounts of “contaminated” wastewater with the electroplating substances gold and […]
