Our research showcase

The European STRATEGO project helped national and local authorities to develop a policy vision for sustainable heating and cooling plans. Although the demand for heat is twice as high as the demand for electricity, the heating policy is just starting to be developed, while …

STORM tackles energy efficiency at district level. It aims to demonstrate that, thanks to a smart District Heating & Cooling (DHC) networks’ controller, energy savings can reach up to 30%. In that perspective, the project partners will develop a controller based on self …

GeoWatt researches fourth-generation thermal grids for balancing the local demand of groups of users for heat or cold with the available supply.

The TEMPO project develops technical innovations that help to lower temperatures in district heating networks for a future sustainable energy system. This is realised by 1) innovations to create low temperature (LT) networks for increased network efficiency and integration …

The GEOTeCH project develops an innovative drilling concept that is based on dry auger methods, an innovative ground heat exchanger, based on co-axial configuration and spiral fluid flow pathways, allowing to achieve high levels of thermal performance with low pressure loss …

In future energy systems the role of digitalization will play a major role and will make energy systems smarter, more efficient, reliable and able to make use of more renewable energy. DHC plants and networks will be fully optimized from production to the end consumers …

Thermal networks of the 4th generation form an important part of EnergyVille's thermal research. Thermal networks of the 4th generation are low temperature networks balancing heat/cold production with local demand. These thermal networks will have an important impact on …

Heating and cooling account for 50% of the EU’s total energy consumption, but at present only 19.1% of it is sourced from renewables, while in 5 countries out of 7 in North-West Europe the same ratio is below 8.2%. This makes heating & cooling an obvious target sector for …

The activity district heating and cooling focuses on the development, demonstration and implementation of intelligent control of networks and substations, tools for designing DHC networks, low temperature networks, multi-carrier energy networks and district cooling networks …

EnergyVille’s software for route determination defines the ideal cluster for your district heating from a collection of potential heating consumers and potential heating suppliers. The software calculates this completely automatically by mapping out the location of consumers …

EnergyVille’s thermal research on economic feasibility maps out all financial parameters of a district heating network and provides a detailed overview of its costs and advantages. The result is a user-friendly calculation model you can use to easily determine the economic …

After successful and high-performance testing on various demo sites, the STORM District Energy Controller is now available on the market. The controller ensures a lower use of fossil fuels and allows an increased share of residual heat and renewable sources in DHC networks …
