The aim of this collaboration is to analyze a dynamic power control of PV systems e.g. 70% of the installed module power as grid-effective regenerative power and to evaluate this as a potential measure to achieve the climate and energy goals in the area of PV expansion. In this context, the expansion of renewables will be considered together with the grid infrastructure.

The general objective of this project is the comprehensive elaboration and evaluation of three expansion scenarios for the energy infrastructure of the energy carriers electricity, gas, and heat to enable a sustainable, climate-neutral economic and energy system in Austria by 2040. We apply a model-based investigation approach in which we establish a soft link between three models (ATLANTIS, HyFlow, ASCANIO), specialized and proven for their respective purpose of investigation. We then develop infrastructure expansion plans for three different scenarios (import/export-orientation, sector coupling, and energy efficiency), which represent the first core outcome of the project. A multi-criteria analysis and -assessment synthesizes technical, techno-economic, macro-economic, and environmental aspects and allows a systematic and comprehensive comparison of the scenarios. The resulting scenariobased transformation pathways represent the second core outcome of the project. A GIS-based and webenabled map for energy infrastructures, potentials of renewable energies and sectoral energy demands, constitute the third key outcome and ensure a clear and user-friendly presentation of the complex interrelationships. Our interdisciplinary project consortium can call on comprehensive expertise and numerous pre-projects relevant for this research proposal. By intensively involving a broad range of stakeholders in a series of five specialized workshops, we integrate additional expertise (e.g. with respect to planned infrastructure projects) and take industry ideas and requirements into account. The project results fully meet the terms-of-reference of the tender and show a depth of detail beyond that. Thereby, they represent a solid basis for decision making, in particular for the preparation of the integrated grid infrastructure plan.

Together with Oesterreichs Energie, a mathematical model is created to consider possibilities and boundary conditions. Scenario analyzes are to be carried out with this model in order to shed more light on the limits of multiple participation. The following questions will be explored: Can billing be standardized? How complex is the distribution of energy? Is it even possible to allocate all energy units? And is the result understandable for the consumer?

The objective of START2030 is to provide comprehensive analysis of the economic incidence and social impacts of a transition to a 100% renewable electricity system by 2030.

Energy innovation is a wide spread topic which concerns tho whole path from primary energy to energy services. Two main parts of energy innovation are energy efficiency and renewable energies. The reasons for the occuring problems are many-sided due to the complexity of the topic. Those reasons can be summarized as barriers to energy innovation. Within this project those barriers are analysed. Based on this analysis new strategies and their realization can be developed.

Energy strategies have a long tradition in Styria. Within this project the making of the new energy strategy has been accompanied on a scientific basis.

Within this project the making of the energyplan 2005-2015 for the federal state styria has been conducted from the scientific point of view.

This project lasts three years and nine major international partners are involved. Aim of the project is to investigate the coaction of an ammonia reformer with fuel cells. Further research concerns the installation of a necessary fuel infrastucture and safety aspects of such systems. not assigned KP: Agrolinz Melemin GmbH, Linz

The aim of the project is the construction of a laboratory car powered by a fuel cell system and ammonia as fuel. The whole system includes the following parts: fuel storage, ammonia cracker, alkaline fuel cell, battery, control management and electrical load simulation. The electrical load simulation allows the simulation of a real driving cycle of a passenger car. Subtasks within the project are: 1) Building of an 1 kW ammonia cracker which fullfills the demands concerning a real driving cycle and the occuring rapid load changes 2) Implementatiion and simulation of an 1 kW alkaline fuel cell including the necessary peripheries for the thermal and fuel management, especially for the circulating elektrolyte of the fuel cell.

The renewable energies have obtained an important upvaluation on September 27th 2001 due to the signature of the guideline for forcing renewable energies by the EU. The background of this guideline concerning renewable energies is among other things justified by the green book to the supply reliability of the European Union. This green book shows, when continuing the "business ase usual", that the import dependence of the EU is going to rise from at present 50% to approximately 70% in twenty years. Our department is looking forward to investigate the practicable methods for the economic use of renewable energies.

Establish an inventory of innovative non-nuclear power technologies that enhances Europe¿ s industrial capabilities within human Mars exploration scenarios. This includes: 1) Methodical search of databases on patents, reports and proposals of worldwide innovative ideas; 2) Access academia for intelligent, innovative alternatives from space and non-space domains; 3) Provide results to DERA in a form suitable for technology shortlisting and assist DERA in trade-offs of innovative technologies identified.
