IEA ISGAN Working Group 6 Transmission and Distribution Network Systems (working period 2023-2024)
IEA ISGAN Working Group 6 addresses the challenges in the overall system of transmission and distribution networks for electricity. The results will improve the understanding of the impact of smart grid technologies on the overall system performance, transmission capacities and operational management of public electricity supply systems. In the project years 2022-2023, international pilot projects on flexibility use and the necessary interaction of transmission and distribution grid operators will be summarised and conclusions drawn.
IEA Cities Task 2: Data for Urban Energy Planning (Working period 2025 - 2029)
Cities consume 60–80% of the globally produced energy and play a central role in the energy transition. However, they face challenges such as insufficient data, missing methodologies, and legal barriers. The project offers practical solutions, best practice examples, and tools for urban energy planning. The focus is on international knowledge exchange, improved data access and quality, as well as collaboration with multipliers and municipalities.
IEA ISGAN Annex 6: Electricity Transmission and Distribution Systems (working period 2021-2022)
ISGAN Annex 6 deals with the possible system-related challenges in the development of future smart grids. Austria is leading Task 4 Interaction of Transmission and Distribution Networks. The main topic in the work program relates to flexibility topologies within transmission and distribution grids. The results and analyses had been published on the one hand in a discussion paper and in condensed form in a video. Communication and dissemination activities were targeted and conducted to different stakeholder groups.
IEA ISGAN Annex 7: Smart Grid Transitions (Working period 2020-2023)
ISGAN Annex / Working Group 7 explored how Smart Grids can support the energy transition. Focus areas included transition processes, governance, market development, and decentralized actors like prosumers. Results were shared through policy briefs, publications, and workshops. An international Community of Practice connects policymakers from ministries, regulatory agencies, and funding bodies and fosters smarter energy systems.
IEA-ISGAN Working Group 5: Smart Grids International Research Facility Network (SIRFN) (Working period 2021 - 2024)
As a global network, SIRFN works to improve the understanding of smart grid technologies and to promote their development and dissemination worldwide. Austria's participation during the project period ensured the networking and visibility of the Austrian smart grid research infrastructure at a global level and provided important access to a worldwide network of leading institutions and laboratories.
BIM2BEM Flow - Continuous BIM-based energy efficient planning
Automated integration and assignment of exchange requirements between the design and simulation programs, based on the elaborated exchange information requirements, should enable continuous energy efficiency planning along the design phase.
IEA IETS Annex 17: Membrane processes in biorefineries (Working period 2020 - 2022)
The aim of IEA IETS Task 17 was to network and strengthen the Austrian membrane and biorefinery research landscape and to promote international exchange on energy- and cost-efficient separation technologies such as membrane distillation (MD), forward osmosis (FO), pervaporation (PV) and liquid membrane permeation (FMP) for the optimised use of lignocellulosic material in biorefineries. A guideline for the integration of emerging membrane processes was created for this purpose.
