Smart grid innovations from Austria
New components and storage facilities for tomorrow‘s energy supply system

As our society moves on from fossil to renewable sources of energy, the classical supply structures will be transformed. Alongside a large number of local providers (photovoltaic, wind power, biomass), new consumers (such as electric vehicles or heat pumps) and storage facilities must be integrated into the energy system. In Austria new technologies and strategies for a smart energy future are continually being developed and tested under real-life conditions, as part of field tests.
