Award Winner
Model the energy demand of electrical vehicles and their impact on the electricity grid 
  • Utilize the electricity network to maximize the supplied energy
  • Communication and information of extra network capacity reserves for electric car users
  • Improve system efficiency and operation by connecting charging points to buildings and their parking lots 
Implementing applications for network capacity prediction & providing the information for the end user 
  • Data Sources: Ontology Electrical network data based on the IEC standard CIM (Common Information Model) 
  • Electrical load information: Publicly accessible and open data platforms provide charging station information
  • Digital Twin: Correlation of transportation and electricity network data, charging stations and electric vehicle consumption by creating a graph-based data model (CityGraph)
  • Visualization of correlated data: Transportation information and traffic flows for end users in an interactive map
  • Status of charging: Prediction of charging point usage (occupancy and energy demand)
"With the City Graph our partners Siemens Advanta Solutions and Microsoft supported us to integrate multiple data sources in an efficient way and we were able to jointly build digital twins of our city district in a very short time frame"
Roman Tobler, Manager at ASCR and Wiener Netze
Improved system efficiency & operation by coordinated interaction with the electricity grid
  • Enabling e-mobility through better planning of network capacities and related expansion
  • Providing services through open standards and interfaces, with the goal of affordability, monetization enablement and longevity
  • Digital Twin can be extended with any ontology (e.g. heat networks, transportation, buildings) and related for many other business use cases
  • Increasing customer satisfaction and attractiveness of e-mobility through fast availability and transparency of charging capacities, leading to a reduction of emissions from combustion vehicles
  • The system implemented for providing & monitoring network capacity can help to secure the reliability of power supply in large cities
