Use Case
Biedronka saves 82% on energy costs with Smart Lampposts
The leading food retailer in Poland installed Omniflow smart and sustainable lighting units in its newest store's parking lot. The smart lampposts integrate wind and solar generation with energy storage to vastly reduce the carbon footprint of lighting.
Use Case
NRGCoin
The NRGcoin mechanism replaces traditional high-risk renewable support policies with a novel blockchain-based Smart Contract, which better rewards green energy. For every 1kWh of green energy consumers pay 1 NRGcoin directly to the Smart Contract, protecting prosumers from policy changes.
Use Case
The Parker Project- V2G Services
The Parker project tested the validity of a company fleet with Vehicle to Grid (V2G) services to support the power grid and support greater integration of renewable energy, while earning revenue.
Use Case
FloodCitiSense Crowdsourced Flood Warning App

Use Case
Better Energy Flexibility with Radio Base Station Batteries
Barcelona tested using the back up batteries of radio base stations to increase grid flexibility and provide greater stability. The stations can be disconnected from the grid on demand and instead use the batteries.
Use Case
Greater Energy Flexibility with Smart Swimming Pool Heating
Denmark is using summer house swimming pools to provide grid flexibility and increase the share of wind energy in its power supply. The large thermal inertia of the pools allows heating to be shifted to times of high wind power production.
Use Case
Distribution Systems Area Data Monitoring in Italy
A pilot project to develop, implement and test in field innovative devices to demonstrate the technical feasibility of increasing the monitoring of the distribution grid and the controllability of renewable energy sources connected at lower voltage levels.
Use Case

Mobility and Lifestyles of Residents in Turku Region
A Maptionnaire survey called “Mobility in Turku region and future of the harbour area” was arranged in the Turku region. The results were used to create creating mobility personas to better connect participatory planning with city/traffic planning processes.
Use Case
'Living' Energy Efficient Apartment Complex in Torino
In response to worsening heatwaves in Torino, Italy, the 25 Verde building was built incorporating over 150 trees and plants along with energy efficiency measures to create a unique living space that both addresses climate change adaptation needs and represent mitigation potential.
Use Case
Counting Mask Wearers on Swiss Transport with AI
Cameras placed at strategic points at train stations in Swiss Cities used Artificial Intelligence to assess how many people wore hygiene masks. The software evaluated on site whether masks were worn by commuters. The analysis was done before and after mask regulations were implemented.
Use Case

Three pipes circular sewer system
In the neighbourhood of Oceanhamnen, the traditional sewage pipe was transformed into three sewage pipes in order to separate municipal waste water. One pipe collects food waste, the second black water and the third grey water. Grey water is recovered for cooling before being treated
Use Case
City of Tequila gears up for a smart future
Culture, heritage, and a unique national drink. The Mexican town of Tequila has already captured the world’s attention. But now it’s about to become famous for a completely different reason: the town is going digital. By 2040, it doesn’t just want to be a smart town, it wants to be a Smart City.
Use Case

chargeBIG charging infrastructure with 100 charging points
In the company car park of MAHLE, 100 AC charging points have been installed for employee and company cars in order to contribute to the reduction of air pollution in Stuttgart. The installation serves as a demonstrator and a real lab for further development of EV charging infrastructure.
