ASCR: Markus Rössle
The showcase project Smart Cities Demo Aspern (SCDA) has been running since 2014 and has a budget of EUR 8 million. The Austrian Climate and Energy Fund is supporting the SCDA project with grants totalling EUR 3.7 million. The three-year project involves around 120 people, with research being conducted primarily on the usage of energy flexibilities, the active management of the low-voltage grid and the intelligent interlinking of buildings and the low-voltage network through ICT. The involvement of users is also a key component of the project.

The INIS project runs from 2014 to 2017 and is receiving funding totalling EUR 1.8 million from the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (BMVIT). INIS develops methods and processes based on smart meters and sensor data for network analysis in order to achieve improvements in system efficiency and network operations. The implementation of an ICT infrastructure suitable for the network operator is being defined and implemented. The objective is to enable the interoperability of ICT architecture with existing systems and future smart grid requirements.
