Electric Grid performance optimization upon RES integration
- Austria
- SUMMARY
- Domain: Mobility
- Partners: Austrian Postal Service, Energie Steiermark, AVL
- Goal: This pilot optimizes electric fleet operations by integrating intelligent charging, V2G, and renewable energy utilization, reducing emissions, energy consumption, costs, and enhancing grid stability.
- The Austrian Postal Service (POST) operates 5000 electric trucks that connect to EV charging stations owned by POST or Energie Steiermark. Both the vehicles and charging stations can share data through O-CEI software services, helping to speed up the adoption of smart, sustainable energy and mobility strategies. P3 introduces three innovative use cases designed to optimize energy consumption, enhance grid stability, and reduce emissions through the integration of O-CEI technologies. These use cases highlight how advanced energy strategies and O-CEI technologies can transform electric fleet operations and grid management, driving sustainability and efficiency.

Infrastructure analysis to optimize Storage Battery Systems
- Austria
For this use case, we analyse the power infrastructure (PV panels, batteries, charging infrastructure), the control and communication infrastructure, and the various communication protocols. This knowledge will then be used to optimize the location and operation of stationary storage battery systems.
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) – Vehicles as Mobile Energy Storage Units
Austria
Building on the first scenario, this use case optimizes EVs as mobile storage units, utilizing O-CEI for intelligent charging, discharging, and fleet route planning, enhancing fleet resilience and battery autonomy. Among others, we will assess the economic balance of the state of health degradation of the EV battery vs. revenue generation by providing energy to the grid at market price.
Smart and Innovative Energy Management Systems
Austria
O-CEI will evaluate mobile storage systems, such as trucks, supporting grid peak shaving and reactive power management. A virtual power plant integrates energy delivery, billing, and regulatory data for interventions.
