Zwölferhorn cable car in St. Gilgen: The cable car in St. Gilgen is largely self-sufficiently operated with solar power. A large PV system covers around 90 % of the energy requirements. The electricity generated is distributed intelligently via energyOS: it is used directly for operation, stored or supplied to the municipality of St. Gilgen. Monitoring and control were implemented by us.

Energy self-sufficient Zwölferhorn cable car in St. Gilgen

With the implementation of an 804 kWp photovoltaic system and a 550 kWh battery storage system, the Zwölferhorn cable car in St. Gilgen has become the first almost energy self-sufficient cable car in the world. During the peak season, the installation runs entirely on solar power, and on average over the year it even generates a surplus of energy that can be fed into the local grid. The project is an impressive example of sustainable tourism and forward-looking infrastructure.

Our contribution: Making energy visible and controllable

On behalf of Synecotec, Reisenbauer Solutions implemented energyOS as a central control and visualization platform. The browser-based interface connects the PV system, storage system, grid and consumers to form an intelligent overall system. The visualization is animated and intuitive - it makes energy flows and operating states visible in real time and supports energy-efficient operational management. This turns technology into an experience - and a cable car into a showcase project.
