about interreg danube traNsnational programme

The Interreg Danube Transnational Programme (DTP) supports transnational cooperation in the heterogeneous Danube region and solves common challenges and needs in the following four specific areas – innovative and socially responsible Danube region, culturally and ecologically responsible Danube region, better connected and energy responsible Danube region, well governed Danube region.

3smart - project overview

Smart Building - Smart Grid - Smart City (3Smart) is a DTP project that runs for 30 months, from 1st January 2017 to 30th June 2019. The main goal of the project is to provide a technological and legislative setup for cross-spanning energy management of buildings, energy grids and major city infrastructures in the Danube region. This includes the development of a modular platform for coordinated building and distribution grid energy management. The developed platform will be installed on 5 pilot locations in 5 countries (Croatia, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina), and comprehensive cost-benefit analysis will be performed to verify the platform’s performance.

• 3Smart will enable economically optimal interoperation of energy efficiency measures and renewable energy sources in buildings, and will motivate installation of distributed storages to improve energy security in the Danube region.
• Major innovative moment is in vertical two-way synchronization through all the platform modules via simple interfaces to attain optimal operation of the buildings and the grid, and easy modules add-on to the existing systems.

DTP CAPITALISATION STRATEGY

3Smart is a member of Thematic Pole 8 – Sustainable Energy, part of DTP Capitalization Strategy. The pole aim is to reinforce the influence of sustainable energy community to the EU Strategy for the Danube Region (Priority Area 2 of the EUSDR „To Encourage More Sustainable Energy.") and further programming of EU funds investment to sustainable energy by pointing out new potentials in the area of sustainable energy crossing real-time energy management in buildings and grids, deep geothermal sources management and biomass supply chain managementThe pole should also contribute to other poles to enforce multidisciplinary approaches including sustainable energy in other priority areas of the EUSDR, e.g. in environment management.
