Purpose of the project is the development and the "Living Lab" test operation of a passive
energysource- and network-wide distribution management (= energy sponge) over a
particularly multipliable approach to harmonize network profiles, increase direct utilization
rate of renewables in the project area and surrounding areas, increase efficiency in the
generation / distribution and consumption as well as for comprehensive integration of
renewables in the city of Hartberg. The focus of the project is a new approach: Central
optimizer + passive network control + business model (new / local aggregation level) + Living
Lab
