Why choose our real-time
Digital Twin Platform for
temperature optimisation
Achieve the lowest possible temperatures
Up to 10 degrees lower than alternative solutions, while still respecting contractual obligations.
Get a flexible solution that fits all systems
Even when little data is available, it’s suitable for large networks with different temperature levels.
Assurance that system constraints are met
System limits like pump capacity are always taken into account when optimising the system.
Prepare your system for new heat sources
The platform lowers temperatures, enabling the integration of sustainable sources like heat pumps and waste heat while decommissioning conventional sources.
District Heating systems need to
transform to lower temperatures
High temperatures and losses with a single or a few heat sources
Lower temperatures with multiple and different types of sources
This is caused by
5 main drivers:
Buildings are becoming better insulated and therefore better at retaining heat.
Transition is needed from fossil fuels to greener sources of energy to reduce emissions.
Rising cost of traditional fuels such as coal, oil and gas.
A need to minimise heat losses and CO2 emissions.
A rise of CAPEX needed for transition.
So, how can you optimise network temperatures on a granular level?
How do you know:
Where to lower temperatures?
How to lower temperatures?
Who should lower temperatures?
When to lower temperatures?
While also making sure to:
Secure supply
Achieve contractual commitments
Prevent pressure issues and large peak demands
Avoid thermal stress
