solSPONGEhigh - Hohe solare Deckungsgrade durch thermisch aktivierte Bauteile im urbanen Umfeld
Im Forschungsprojekt solSPONGEhigh wurde die intensive Nutzung von thermisch aktivierten Bauteilen (TABs) als zusätzlicher thermischer Speicher in verschiedenen Gebäuden unter vorrangigem Einsatz von Solartechnologien (Solarthermie bzw.

CityStore - Sondierung des wesentlichen F&E-Bedarfs zur Optimierung von städtischen Energiespeichern in integrierten Energiesystemen
In CityStore wird erstmals ein innovativer Ansatz zur räumlichen Verortung von Speicherbedarf und -potentialen verfolgt. Dies inkludiert die Evaluierung der konkreten Herausforderungen und Voraussetzungen sowie die Identifikation von sinnvollen Speichertechnologien und -kapazitäten. Dazu werden Modellrechnungen für die Vorzeigestädte Graz und Weiz durchgeführt und die Verallgemeinerungsfähigkeit der Ergebnisse anhand der Follower-Region Südburgenland untersucht. Die Resultate sollen optimierte Planung und Realisierung von städtischen Energiespeichern ermöglichen – wodurch zielgerichtet in Energieinfrastruktur zur Umsetzung von (lokalen) Klima- und Energiezielen investiert werden kann.

Based on the results of the national-funded exploratory projects called “Smart Exergy Leoben”, and “Energy Sponge Bruck”, the present implementation project aims at analysing how local, renewable resources support the supply of electric mobility in Leoben in the long term and to integrate it into the municipal distribution grid in a good economic sense.
SOFC4City - SOFC-waste heat utilization for buildings and industry
In this project the application of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) for energy supply (heat and power) of urban areas will be investigated. Due to the high temperature level of the produced heat it would be possible to use this heat for the energy supply of different heat and power consumers (residential buildings, industrial plants, etc.). One aim is to provide the SOFC-heat at several temperature levels in order to establish the advantages of the fuel cell. On the one hand the legal and market-based conditions will be evaluated, on the other hand the technological feasibility will be scoured by the use of CFD-simulation of the heat production.
ecoRegeneration: Development of a "Merit-Order" in order to assess regeneration heat for geothermal probes within urban residential neighbourhoods
In urban residential areas there are not enough active-cooled usages, to use the waste heat of the cooling process as required regeneration heat for geothermal probes; free cooling of the apartments is not sufficient. The project is developing various options (waste heat from commercial uses in the ground floor zones of residential buildings, by using waste heat of data centres, additional installation of heat generation systems for regeneration) within the urban settlement area, business models and is calculating life-cycle-costs of all solutions. The result should be a kind of "merit order" for regeneration heat.
P2H-Pot - Potentials, economic feasibility and system solutions for Power-to-Heat
P2H-Pot has identified economically feasible potentials for Power-to-Heat (P2H) in urban regions. The suitability of different technical system configurations were investigated using thermodynamic simulation and considering experiences from Scandinavian cases. The assessment of short, medium and long term relevance and economic feasibility of P2H were accomplished by simulating model-based scenarios up to 2050 of the Austrian and German electricity and heat market. In cooperation with a district heating company three case studies have been carried out.

Monitoring and comparison of performance of thermally activated building components in two similarly built, inhabited detached houses with different energy sources (wind and solar power). The functionality of energy supply through wind power or solar energy will be investigated as well as the verification of the practicability of self-regulating system control due to building temperature behaviour. The results provide an insight into the calculation assumptions, system control and feasibility of the smart grid technology.
