Energy Surplus Renovation (I) Upgrade of building stock from the 60s to the 80s Example: Renovation and upgrade of a 1960s building in Kapfenberg using prefabricated roof and façade elements, integrated building services, and grid coupling large prefabricated façade modules (active and passive) including windows and utility modules for heating and ventilation ductwork integrated active elements such as PV modules, solar collector panels and honeycomb solar cells Photo: AEE INTEC 200 m² of solar-thermal collector panels and up to 1000 m² of PV modules on façade and roof renovation of building envelope in short time, independent of weather and without scaffolding, passive house quality (HED 11,50 kwh/m²a)
Energy Surplus Renovation (II) Nineteenth century with a future Innovative modernisation of late nineteenth-century buildings integrated system solution with 80% reduction of energy use to be implemented under the currently existing grant regime and replicated at reasonable cost inner sashes of traditional Viennese box-type windows replaced by passive house windows interior insulation including moisture-adaptive vapour barriers, HED: 20-30 kwh/m²a exterior insulation where possible central ventilation facility with heat recovery loft conversion to passive house standard implementation below 10 % extra cost renewable energy sources integrated in façade: photovoltaic system and solar heating backup vacuum insulation around the terrace area to allow full accessibility, HED: 13,8 kwh/m²a

Urban Restructuring Lehen (Salzburg) High efficient buildings (building envelope, efficiency of electricity) The use of thermal solar power and photovoltaic in the urban district Energy efficient reconstruction of an office tower of the nineteensixties Development of a specific intelligent energy monitoring Integration of the inhabitants and users Qualitiy control and dissemination
Lessons learned Think big : from buildings to building blocks to whole city quarters aim: unlocking synergies 100% renewable electricity produced in the city itself (autarky) is not a reasonable objective Smart City Demo Programm: large-scale demonstration projects integrating buildings, energy infrastructure, mobility, ICT,... Conflicts of interest between different energy carriers and energy service providers Conflicts of interest between all planning levels (especially between best practice demonstration projects and ciy-wide energy planning)
Interdependencies and conflicts of interest Quelle: TU Wien/EEG
Example: INFRA-PLAN (infrastructure planning in urban modell quarters and hybrid networks) Transnational R&D projects (Austria/Germany) within the Smart Grids/Smart Cities D-A-CH co-operation Focus: integrated infrastructure planning Across different energy carriers and systems (electricity, district heating, natural gas, cooling,...) Regarding different planning levels (modell quarter, whole city, region,..) focusing on interdependencies, conflicts of interest Assesing the role of new technologies (Power-To-Gas, Power-To-Heat) in the context of urban energy systems
INFRA-PLAN: Berlin, Graz, Hamburg Berlin Adlershof Graz Mitte Hamburg Wilhelmsburg
Methodical approach Multi grid simulation tool (more than 10 years of development) Sub-models for each energy carrier (electricity, heating, natural gas) and conversion components (incl. P2G, P2H) Economic and investment model is running in parallel High time resolution (1 hour) taking into account the characteristics of renewable energy production Opimization of infrastructures (planning horizont of typically 20-30 years) Ranking of different technology options both from technical and economical side

Key issues and challenges How to overcome (typical) conflicts of interest between the different stakeholders? How to increase the share of renewables in urban heating markets? (much bigger challenge than electricity) Economic future of district heating? How to integrate the local surplus of renewable electricity into urban energy systems? Role of new technologies (Power-To-Gas, Power-To-Heat) Example for conflicting policies and regulations: Power-To-Heat in Berlin/Brandenburg region (Germany)
National and regional policies 1 National Regional Regional targets for renewable production are even much more ambitious than the national ones Ambitious national targets Ranking regarding renewable energy production Share of renewables in electricity mix: 2030: 50% 2050: 80% (currently approx. 25%) Share of renewables (total energy consumption): 2030: 30% 2050: 60%

Electricity: Optimization at level of Transmission System Operator (TSO) 3 How to integrate renewable electricity production into the electricity grids? Number of days per year in control area 50Hertz, in which renewable energy production has been disconnected from the electricity grid (Maßnahmen gema ß 13 (2) i. V. m. 11 EEG) Number of days/year Quelle: Thesenpapier: Power-To-Heat als Instrument zur Effizienzsteigerung der Energiewende (Daten aus [Ziemann 2013], [50 Hertz 2014] Source: Francis McLloyd
Heat planning at local level 4 How to use the surplus of renewable electricity production in local heating systems? (Power-To-Heat) Economic competition between different energy carriers/systems (district heating, natural gas, electricity) Surplus of renewable energy production must not be more expensive like other options (e.g. natural gas) On the other hand, electricity produced with fossil fuels should not enter into the heating market What are the main (market) barriers?
Barriers for Power-To-Heat 5 Barriers at national level (electricity market design, tax regulations) Indirect costs for district heating operator would be >130 /MWh, even if the electricity price would be zero. Nessesary to remove barriers in 5 different regulations/legal acts Source: Thesenpapier: Power-To-Heat als Instrument zur Effizienzsteigerung der Energiewende (Entwurf; Zahlen bzw.

Integrate different regional and local policies 7 Not more of the same, but: Ranking regarding renewable energy production (do not change it!) Planned commissioning of Power-To-Heat pilot project in Berlin Adlershof: 2q 2015 Integrated planning through all energy carriers Integrated planning at different planning levels Market barriers have to be abolished at all policy levels Main question: How could urban infrastructures enable the integration of renewables in the whole energy system?
Suggestions regarding ETP 2016 (2nd part) Focus on 3 5 key challenges Discuss typical local situations (show cases) Focus on interactions and conflicts of interest between the different planning levels between different energy carriers and systems BMVIT: interested in co-operation regarding ETP 2016 Timetable and budgetary restrictions: start discussions regarding ETP 2017 as early as possible
