Optimise, decarbonise and grow your city’s grid with our real-time Digital Twin

With our real-time Digital Twin Platform, we create a digital copy of your complete grid that runs in real-time, combining geographical, weather and sensor data with physics-based models and AI. It provides insights for your entire network - even for places where you don’t have data or smart meters. This lets you optimise your grid and run simulations of future situations for a more efficient operation.

District Heating grids
need to transform

From high to
low temperatures

Low temperature systems are more efficient and help reduce CO2 emissions as well as minimising operational costs.

From few to multiple sustainable heat sources

Enabling your District Heating grid to incorporate multiple new, more sustainable low temperature heat sources makes it future-proof.

Turning low efficiency
into high efficiency

By optimising your complete District Heating system, overall performance and security of delivery from source to end users goes up while operational costs go down.

Traditional District Heating
software only delivers limited
optimisation and simulation

Partial optimization

Partial optimization with tools focusing on either sources, hydraulics, or end users, but not the integrated view.

Low performance

Low performance with legacy core modules that lack computational power needed for large and complex DH systems.

Rigid models

Rigid models that can only be updated by means of extensive and costly efforts by external consultants.

Optimise your District Heating grid
in real-time

We have developed a unique end-to-end software solution that is fit for the challenges and complexity of District Heating systems today and tomorrow.

Single integrated modelling solution

Covering heat sources, users and the distribution network in between.

Maximise value from available data

Combine different types of data sources, sensors and smart meters to create a digital copy of your network - even with limited data available.

Smart physical
models

Use your live data in dynamic thermohydraulic models to compute the heat propagation in your network.

Fill in the blanks
with AI

Use AI to complete the missing sensor data, optimise your system in real-time and forecast future network states, based on historic patterns.

Make your District Heating grid more reliable and efficient with our real-time Digital Twin Platform

Single end-to-end solution

Simulate the whole system from production to network and end users in real-time.

Built for scale and complexity

With proprietary hydraulic solvers and optimisers working at multi-core cloud systems.

Always up-to-date model

Due to efficient data loaders and high service SaaS.

‘What’s important is that you link the digital twin with real data sources from the environment and are able to update the twin in real-time.’

Right from the start

We've already successfully applied our real-time Digital Twin Platform to District Heating grids across Europe, with measurable results of up to:

Heat loss saving

CO2 emission reduction

Savings on fuel cost

Faster issue
detection

Lower
CAPEX

Increased security
of heat supply

Our customers are reporting
strong and measurable outcomes

Reduction of grid temperatures

through live setpoint control of heat sources and substations.

Up to 4-6 percent points improved profit

after live dispatch optimization of CHP/boiler systems.

Successful heat pump integration

after the system failed to operate for 2 years.

>€10M CAPEX reduction

after dynamic scenario modelling proved that the pump station was redundant.
