IEA ISGAN Annex 3: Benefit/Cost Analyses and Tools of Smart Grids
Together with experts from 11 countries, the EI-JKU has analysed cost-benefit models and developed proposals for their adaptation and further development. In the course of the work, the EI-JKU dealt in particular with two questions: how such an evaluation model can be adapted to Austrian conditions and which socio-economic factors influence the question of whether an end consumer emerges as a winner or loser from Smart Grid-based functionalities.
IEA Bioenergy Task 39: Commercialising Conventional and Advanced Transport Biofuels from Biomass and Other Renewable Feedstocks (Working Period 2019 - 2021)
IEA Bioenergy Task 39 deals with the commercialization of conventional and advanced biofuels, including innovative raw materials, their economic, environmental and social assessment and the investigation of relevant policies. The Triennium 2019-2021 made findings from countries with a committed biofuels policy accessible to Austria, and success stories of Austrian industry, research and policy were promoted internationally.
IEA Bioenergy Task 32: Biomass Combustion and Co-firing (Working Period 2019 - 2021)
Austrian participation in IEA Bioenergy Task 32 "Biomass Combustion and Cofiring" in the period 2019 - 2021 and participation in defined task priorities, events and projects that are relevant for Austria. International and national dissemination and networking activities to exchange information and promote cooperation.
IEA EBC Annex 80: Resilient Cooling for Residential and Small Non-Residential Buildings
In the project cost and energy-efficient and non-fossil solutions for cooling and ensuring summer suitability are systematically analyzed and further developed. As part of the international R&D co-operation, fragmented knowledge is bundled and made available to the Austrian construction and mechanical engineering industry. Austrian expertise in climate-sensitive building optimization is disseminated internationally through leading participation in this international research.
IEA SHC Task 62: Solar Energy in Industrial Water and Wastewater Management
The main objective of IEA SHC Task 62 was to increase the use of solar thermal energy in industry, to develop new collector technologies and to open up industrial and municipal water treatment as a new area of application with high market potential for solar thermal energy. The focus was on thermal separation technologies as well as technologies for solar water decontamination and disinfection. By combining the technologies with solar collectors, an innovative and economically attractive overall solution should be created for integration into industry.
IEA 4E TCP-PECTA: Power Electronic Conversion Technology (Working period 2019 - 2021)
The IEA 4E Power Electronic Conversion Technology Annex (PECTA) aims to evaluate the efficiency potential related to the integration of Wide Bandgap (WBG) based power semiconductors for relevant applications and to act as an independent knowledge platform. In the first work period, energy savings have been initially assessed for selected applications, a roadmap for WBG materials was derived and the work plan for PECTA's Phase 2 was defined.
IEA Bioenergy Task 33: Gasification of Biomass and Waste (Working Period 2019 - 2021)
The main aim of IEA Bioenergy Task 33 is the international as well as national information exchange and networking on thermochemical gasification of biomass and waste. The focus is on exchange of information regarding R&D programmes in area of biomass and waste materials gasification, commercial facilities and the marketing chance for gasification facilities to identify and avoid technical and non-technical hurdles.
IEA HPT Task 42: Heat pumps in smart energy grids for sustainable cities
The aim of Annex 42 is to analyse the technical possibilities as well as the economic/regulatory framework conditions of heat pumps for load balancing in smart grids, which are largely controlled by electricity supplier, and to investigate the impact on thermal consumers and possible potentials, in order to work out economic incentive models for load shifting and the benefits for energy supply companies and end customers on this basis.
IEA SHC Task 52: Solar Thermal & Energy Economics in Urban Environments
IEA SHC Task 52 focused on the analysis of the future role of solar thermal heat in integrated urban energy systems. The potential of solar thermal applications to cover the low-temperature heat demand in future low-carbon energy systems was investigated against the background of the rapidly changing framework conditions in the energy sector. Best practice examples for the integration of solar thermal systems into urban energy systems were evaluated and documented.
IEA EBC Annex 64: Optimised Performance of Energy Supply Systems with Exergy Principles (Working period 2014-2018)
To reduce CO2 emissions in cities, an overall understanding of energy conversion processes is necessary, which also takes temperature levels into account. This is particularly important when alternative heat sources such as waste heat, ambient heat, solar and geothermal energy are to be used, as these often have a low temperature level, i.e. a low exergy content. Accordingly, urban energy systems are analysed and optimised within the framework of the IEA EBC Annex 64 with the help of the exergy approach.
IEA Bioenergy Task 42: Biorefining in a Circular Economy (Working Period 2019-2021)
Biorefineries can provide a wide range of products such as energy, fuels, chemicals, food, feed and materials based on renewable resources. In this project, relevant information on biorefineries regarding technologies and biobased products will be compiled at international expert level and results on an ecological and economic assessment of selected biorefineries will be provided.
