The "Theiß Hybrid Storage System" project, which leverages our flexibility management platform CyberNoc to market its flexibility, has been chosen as a finalist for the The Smarter E AWARD 2025 in the "Outstanding Projects" category. The top jury is going to decide on the award winners in the next step, which will be announced during the official award ceremony on May 6, 2025 at 6:00 pm (CET) at the ICM – Internationales Congress Center München (room 1), which is located on the ground of Messe Munich, Germany.
TU Wien, the Austrian Institute of Technology, EVN, and CyberGrid partnered on this project and collaborated on the joint award application.
The award ceremony will take place just before the start of the Smarter E exhibition. CyberGrid will be exhibiting at the EM-Power Europe exhibition in the SmartEn joint booth B5.490, Hall B5.

The Theiß Hybrid Storage System
The Theiß Hybrid Storage System, managed by EVN, utilizes CyberGrid's advanced software solution, ‘CyberNoc,’ to market and optimize flexibility in balancing and intraday markets. Known by the Austrian electric utility with the nickname ‘FlexRegler’, this cutting-edge platform enables the monetization of interconnected energy assets across multiple markets by adopting the most profitable strategies, increasing efficiency, and supporting grid stability.
The development of this state-of-the-art hybrid facility marks a significant step in integrating diverse storage technologies and renewable energy sources into a unified hybrid system. Located in the picturesque village of Theiß (Gedersdorf, Lower Austria), the project is redefining sustainable energy’s future. By combining battery storage, power-to-heat, and solar power, the Theiß Hybrid Storage System serves as a model for a greener, more resilient energy landscape. This initiative not only emphasizes innovation but also supports regional and environmental strategies to promote energy sustainability and self-sufficiency, setting new standards for environmental responsibility and technological advancement.
How is the CyberNoc flexibility management platform utilized?
CyberNoc is a key component in the Theiß Hybrid Storage System. Its main role is to manage the battery storage and other power plants, optimizing their operation based on market conditions and grid needs. In the Theiß system, CyberNoc enables various balancing and energy trading services, including Frequency Control Reserve (FCR), Automatic (aFRR), and Manual Frequency Restoration Reserve (mFRR), individually or in combination. The platform also allows battery storage to operate alone or in combination with power-to-heat (P2H) as a hybrid system.
This flexibility is crucial for managing the fluctuations of renewable energy generation. Furthermore, CyberNoc facilitates intraday trading, enabling the sale of excess energy, such as during peak solar production, to maximize profits while supporting the overall energy supply. As renewable energy grows, the ability to respond quickly to grid needs becomes even more critical, and CyberNoc helps ensure profitability while boosting grid stability. This project sets a new benchmark for integrating renewable energy and participating in energy markets.
2024 winners with CyberNoc in the category "Smart Integrated Energy"
Our CyberNoc flexibility management platform was awarded in the category "Smart Integrated Energy" at the Smarter E Award 2024. The award ceremony took place on the 19th of June at Messe München. The 'Smart Integrated Energy' category aims to demonstrate the energy industry's trend towards increased use of automated solutions to market renewable energy sources and leverage battery storage systems. This category is focused on the stabilization of power grids, increased efficiency, and renewable energy sources.
