IEA Wind Task 54: Wind Energy in Cold Climates (Working period 2025 - 2029)
In order to achieve the expansion targets for renewable energies, generation plants will increasingly have to be erected at locations with more demanding framework conditions in the future. For wind energy, this means planning and operating turbines under icing conditions in many countries. The task examines and evaluates technological solutions in this environment and publishes procedural recommendations in the form of technical reports and guidelines.
IEA Wind Task 51: Forecasting for the weather driven energy system (Working period 2024 - 2027)
The project aims to improve forecasting accuracy for weather-dependent energy systems to enable the efficient integration of renewable energies. The focus is on physical/statistical and machine learning-based modelling of energy production from renewable energy sources, reducing uncertainties, and enhancing the communication of forecast information to the energy sector. International collaboration within the framework of the task aims to help develop standards and best practices that advance both research and practical applications.
IEA SHC Task 32: Advanced Heat Storage Concepts
IEA SHC Task 32 deals with advanced storage concepts for low energy buildings. In the project storages based on phase change materials are used in solar combisystems, in order to reduce the emissions and increase the efficiency of biomass- and gas boilers and to increase the solar fraction
IEA PVPS Task 14: Solar PV in the 100% Renewable Energy Source based Power System (working period 2018 - 2024)
The IEA-PVPS Task 14, which was completed in 2024, promoted international cooperation to create the technical basis for a 100% renewable energy-based electricity supply with photovoltaics as a central pillar. The task focused on integral approaches for the operation and planning of power supply systems with photovoltaics, as well as integration into smart grids, with the aim of using the energy generated optimally and efficiently to cover consumption.
IEA-PVPS Task 13: Performance, Operation and Reliability of Photovoltaic Systems (Working period 2018 - 2021)
The IEA Task 13 develops independent, internationally valid analyses and recommendations for the operation and reliability of PV systems and their components. The continuation of the Austrian participation ensures the flow of information back to the Austrian photovoltaic industry through international cooperation and strengthens Austria as a location for innovation and production.
Bioenergy and Sustainable Development - Climate Change Mitigation and Opportunities for Sustainability Co-Benefits
23. - 24. May 2022
Online, AT
The aim of this e-Workshop is to provide practical information to qualify the contributions of bioenergy to climate change mitigation, highlight the opportunities and co-benefits of biomass supply chains (beyond energy provision) and open the prospects of stimulating such co-benefits and managing trade-offs.
IEA PVPS Task 15: Builiding integrated Photovoltaic (Working period 2019 - 2023)
The IEA PVPS Task 15 promotes building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) by overcoming technical and non-technical barriers. Despite its potential, BIPV remains largely underutilised due to economic, legal and normative barriers, lack of knowledge transfer and business models. Task 15.2 addresses these issues through research exchange and bridging gaps between BIPV stakeholders to accelerate the implementation and market penetration of BIPV.
IEA PVPS Task 15: Enabling Framework for the Acceleration of BIPV (Working period 2024 - 2027)
Photovoltaics in general, and thus also the integration of photovoltaics into buildings (BIPV), represents a key component in the energy system of the future. The issues of land consumption for PV and dual use are now making BIPV increasingly important. Solutions for photovoltaics integrated into the building envelope are therefore increasingly becoming the focus of the construction industry.
3rd IEA SHC Task 65 - Austrian National Workshop
8. April 2024
Hotel Europa, Graz, AT
This is the third of three workshops of the IEA SHC Task 65, which takes place at the national level. The purpose of these workshops is to bring together collected Austrian know-how into Task 65 and to reflect the findings of international experts, as well as to test the tools and methods developed.
Potential for Solar Heat in Industrial Processes (Claudia Vannoni/Riccardo Battisti/Serena Drigo 2008)
The goal of this report, developed in the framework of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme Task33 and IEA SolarPACES Programme Task IV - Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP), is to highlightthe potential use of solar thermal (ST) plants to provide heat for industrial applications. In order to fulfil thisaim, several national potential studies were surveyed and compared with a focus on the key results and themethodologies applied.

IEA SHC Task 37: Advanced Housing Renovation with Solar & Conservation
Development of advanced renovation concepts for residential buildings. For the housing segments with the greatest energy saving potentials strategies for increased market penetration of advanced housing renovation are investigated. Analysing outstanding renovation projects shall lead to technically and economically robust and sustainable concepts for housing renovation.
IEA Bioenergy Task 40: Deployment of Biobased Value-Chains (Working Period 2019 - 2021)
IEA Bioenergy Task 40 traditionally focused on international trade and supply chains of biomass for bioenergy. Starting in 2018, the systems view was broadened, also to better meet Austrian requirements. The supply chain focus was maintained, but with a broader premise: The establishment of bio-based value chains for a sustainable and fair bioeconomy.
