Virtual Industry Lab
Seeing the energy transition in industry with your own eyes – this is made possible on a new scale with the NEFI Virtual Industry Lab at the Austrian Institute of Technology. In a showroom, project results can be visualised for a larger audience. Additionally, a toolbox allows for the virtual assessment of industrial sites.
The Energy Systems Lab at the Lehrstuhl für Energieverbundtechnik an der Montanuniversität Leoben is a demonstration, innovation, and training center for industrial energy systems. The lab is based on an innovative Power System Hardware in the Loop (PSHIL) concept.
The E.Factory Lab of the Upper Austrian Energiesparverband aims to spark interest in the industrial energy transition in schools to address the shortage of skilled workers in industry and research. To achieve this, age- and target-specific information and communication activities are used to motivate students to engage with the energy transition in industry and to consider this field as a potential future career path.
NEFI aims not only to provide technical infrastructure but also to promote creativity and interaction with other stakeholders to ensure participation and collaboration.
