With more and more battery-electric trucks and buses on Austria's roads, the need for charging infrastructure and the demands on the electricity grid are increasing. To support this ramp-up of e-mobility, the Reiner Lemoine Institute (RLI) has joined forces with a German-Austrian consortium to develop a platform on which stakeholders involved in expanding the infrastructure for e-mobility can network and exchange ideas. This platform is called STELE - STromnetze für ELEktromobilität. The consortium presented the platform at the 2nd Mobility Conference of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure in Vienna.
The tension between dynamic developments in power generation and consumers on the one hand and long planning horizons for grids and charging infrastructure on the other can slow down the energy and transport transition. Good coordination, networking and information sharing, on the other hand, accelerate the transformation.
Collaboration for faster results in the expansion of charging infrastructure
With the STELE platform, there is now a place where all stakeholders can come together.
“For efficient charging infrastructure planning and needs-based network expansion, stakeholders need to know where and when the charging needs of heavy commercial vehicles arise. With STELE, we are creating a place where stakeholders can exchange requirements and develop solutions together for the first time,” says Jakob Gemassmer, head of the RLI Research Unit Mobility with Renewable Energies, who is leading the project for the RLI.
Events for exchange, data tools and interactive map for easier planning
The core of STELE is a matchmaking process. Operators of vehicle fleets, charging infrastructure and electricity grids find a protected space for exchange in STELE. And in two ways: at regional events and digitally. Together with the partners, RLI scientists are developing web tools and an interactive map in which charging requirements and power grid data are collected. The aim is to speed up the planning of charging infrastructure and grid connections.
“It is at regional level in particular that it is decided whether charging infrastructure can be implemented in line with demand and in a way that is compatible with the grid. With STELE, we are creating the basis for this dialog - with the right local partners. We are delighted to be able to help shape this forward-looking topic as part of this highly competent consortium,” says Lisa Göttfried, STELE project manager at the Graz Energy Agency.
STELE was initiated by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure and is being implemented on behalf of and with funding from the Climate and Energy Fund. The Reiner Lemoine Institute leads the project consortium. Other partners are the Grazer Energieagentur, UIV Urban Innovation Vienna, Kairos OG and Localiser.

About RLI: The Reiner Lemoine Institute (RLI) is an independent, non-profit research institute that has been committed to a future with 100 percent renewable energy since 2010. In the three research units Transformation of Energy Systems, Mobility with Renewable Energy and Off-Grid Systems, RLI scientists work in an application-oriented and scientific manner for the energy and transport transition in Germany and internationally. Since its foundation, the open-source models developed at the institute have become firmly established in energy system modeling. RLI’s mobility and electrification concepts are implemented by companies and the public sector worldwide.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
