Combined building and plant simulation in real time
In a dynamic building simulation, the zones (rooms) are in contact with their surroundings and with the adjacent building components, the people, equipment and objects located in them. In the combined building and plant simulation, the dynamic interaction between building, plant and control is also taken into account. A building and plant simulation, adapted in real time to the actual weather conditions and current measurement data from the building, can help to optimize the control of the building services and thus reduce energy costs and increase user comfort.

Two Austrian demonstration building digital twin
In recent years, AEE INTEC has completed two projects for the development and initial implementation of a digital twin on real buildings in Austria. This digital twin is a detailed simulation model using IDA ICE software, which is compared in real time with measurement data from a real building. This creates a model that represents the real condition of the building and its building services at any given time. This model can then be used for automated fault detection or to optimize control systems. The aim is to reduce energy consumption and improve user comfort.

Visibility and Obervability of distribution grid assets and grid status
One challenge for the use of decentralized flexibility is the current lack of visibility of the systems and the lack of observability in the distribution grid, as well as the lack of real-time information on the topology of the distribution grid itself. These problems make it difficult to verify the actual need for flexibility as well as to validate or measure the flexibility provided.

Data exchange between different stakeholders as a challenge
The energy system data and the data exchange between transmission and distribution system operators, as well as suppliers and aggregators, are currently only sufficient to a limited extent to enable an appropriate provision of flexibility services.
