Use Case
Greenwich Energy Hero DSM
In London, households in the Royal Borough of Greenwich were incentivised through points-based rewards to change their energy consumption patterns and behaviour, with the goal of reducing pressure on the grid during peak times.
Use Case
Smart Lamppost Electric Charging
The Royal borough of Greenwich has upgraded its lampposts with LED lighting, electric vehicle (EV) charging points and smart parking sensors.
Use Case
An e-bike loan scheme supporting low-carbon shared mobility
In an effort to encourage a modal shift away from cars, the Royal Borough of Greenwich implemented a business model and service for e-cargo bikes, and introduced an e-bike sharing scheme.
Use Case
Off-grid charging station for a sustainable micro-mobility
An off-grid charging station was installed in the Hochschule Bochum as a pilot project to harness solar power into a flexible and modular light EV docking station.
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
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
Waste heat recovery from sewage water
The projects entails the installation of a heat exchanger and water-to-water heat pumps that will recover the heat from sewage water in order to improve the efficiency of gas fired heaters in schools
Use Case

Hitachi's role in Andhra Pradesh was to create the Real Time Governance Center, by integrating data from over 30 gov’t departments providing 700+ services, and 10,000s of devices into a centralized integrated operations center.
Use Case
Groundwater monitoring
Hitachi's role in Andhra Pradesh was to create the Real Time Governance Center, by integrating data from over 30 gov’t departments providing 700+ services, and 10,000s of devices into a centralized integrated operations center.
Use Case
Virtual classrooms
Hitachi's role in Andhra Pradesh was to create the Real Time Governance Center, by integrating data from over 30 gov’t departments providing 700+ services, and 10,000s of devices into a centralized integrated operations center.
Use Case
Camera monitoring system
Hitachi's role in Andhra Pradesh was to create the Real Time Governance Center, by integrating data from over 30 gov’t departments providing 700+ services, and 10,000s of devices into a centralized integrated operations center.
Use Case
Real time weather monitoring
Hitachi's role in Andhra Pradesh was to create the Real Time Governance Center, by integrating data from over 30 gov’t departments providing 700+ services, and 10,000s of devices into a centralized integrated operations center.
Use Case
Data Center - Real Time Governance
All sectors of administration were linked to a single data centre. A platform which enables the government to have access to real time data, accelerating decision making, with less budget and with accountability.
Use Case
Big Belly Bins
The 'Big Belly Bins' are fitted with waste compactors which ensure they need emptied less often than standard designs. The innovative bins have proved to need emptying 7 times less than standard bin designs. They use wireless technology to alert authorities when they are full.
Use Case
Trafiklab - Together we create the future of public transport
Trafiklabs gathers in a single open data platform information about transports in Sweden and makes API’s available to everyone so that users can develop and share smartphone apps.
Use Case
Solar powered E-paper technology screens for real time public...
Solar power technology was combined with E-paper screens to provide real time information about public transport in Coimbra.
Use Case
Coordinating Freight Movements in Antwerp
Antwerp has the second largest port in Europe. It also has a strategic and central location in Europe. This leads to a lot of freight/logistic traffic in, towards and out of the port. Hence, efforts are made to encourage a modal, location, time, technology and mental shift in the logistic sector.
Use Case
Connecting Transport Systems
Antwerp wants to provide locations – such as P&R’s in the city outskirts – where commuters can easily switch from one transportation mode to a more sustainable other when traveling to and from their work in the city or port area.
Use Case
Developing Smart Mobility Solutions in Antwerp
In order to further encourage and facilitate the use of electric vehicles, both private and shared, a policy note was made on electric charging for citizens and employees as an answer to the increasing demand of electirc mobility and charging infrastructure.
Use Case
Developing Dynamic Traffic Management
Antwerp is a lively and vibrant city with many different traffic flows: citizens, visitors, commuters, students, freight and logistics. This also leads to many different transport modes sharing space. Measures are taken to manage this in an efficient way, to keep the city accessible and liveable.
Use Case
Event and Commuter Travel Plans
With ca. 80,000 companies and over 247,000 employees, commuter traffic, therefore, forms a big part of the movements in and around the city of Antwerp. Event and commuter plans are implemented to help companies outline sustainable mobility policies.
Use Case
Awareness Raising Measure in Antwerp
Antwerp (PORTIS) partners are promoting sustainable mobility solutions in the city and port area. To change people's behaviour towards sustainable mobility, they have to be convinced of the benefits. This is done by informing, but also persuading and inspiring.
Use Case
Integrating The Collective Transport Network in Antwerp
In order to link the city of Antwerp with its port area, efforts are made to expand and promote the public transport network in and around the city.
