The expansion of PV in Austria is progressing. Sonja Wogrin and Alexander Konrad from the Institute of Electricity Economics and Energy Innovation at TU Graz explain how the grids need to be expanded for this and which storage systems make sense.

Researchers at TU Graz have evaluated various carbon capture technologies for use in shipping. These technologies will be necessary to achieve the climate targets, but they will realistically not enable complete capturing of greenhouse gases on board.

Where is the space to generate the legally required amount of photovoltaic electricity in Austria by 2030? A research Eleven terawatt hours (TWh) is the amount of electricity to be generated from photovoltaic systems in Austria in 2030.

In 2040, electricity production from solar installations will often significantly exceed demand, especially at midday.

They are standard on trains, but on container ships still a dream of the future: Large electric motors are constantly evolving and are used for numerous applications.

Lukas Maar tracks down all the various ways attackers infiltrate computer systems. He has just presented several research findings at the renowned Usenix conference. Lukas Maar loves climbing. Mostly in large groups. "We sit together in front of the wall for a very long time, look at our respective strengths and weaknesses and plan individual routes up to our common goal at the top," he explains.

Methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen are waiting in the wings to replace problematic heavy fuel oil in ship propulsion systems.

For a long time, large engines only knew one operating condition: full load. Nowadays, though, they are used much more flexibly and can effectively balance fluctuating electricity production, in particular from renewable energy sources.

Researchers from Graz University of Technology and "sicher unterwegs" are providing precise data on the movement patterns of children travelling on foot in road traffic.

Online activities can be monitored in detail simply by analysing latency fluctuations in the internet connection, researchers at Graz University of Technology have discovered.

An interdisciplinary team at TU Graz is revolutionising the design of sustainable buildings. The advantages and disadvantages of different construction measures are visualised in real time using VR simulation.

A team from TU Graz has analysed the risk and damage potential of hydrogen vehicles in tunnels and derived recommendations.

For four and a half years, the nanosatellite built at TU Graz acted as a flying laboratory in space to test mission-critical software, operating concepts and new technologies.

The "CD Laboratory for EMC-Aware Robust Electronic Systems" carries out research into the negative electromagnetic influences on electronic components in production and operation in order to eliminate the causes of failures.

Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the new laboratory spaces offer the opportunity for interdisciplinary research at the interface of man and machine.

Eva Reitbauer is trying to teach robots to "see". Her robots include autonomous compost turning machines whose sensory organs are sensors such as laser scanners and cameras.

In the 20th issue of GAM - Graz Architecture Magazine, we encounter Italian Autogrill service stations, the backyards of Neapolitan palazzi and K67 kiosks from the former Yugoslavia.

Research into robots and their autonomy can also lead to an algorithm chasing its own lap record. Does it do this better than humans?
