2022-09-15, 09:00 H - 2022-09-15, 13:00 H
Der englischsprachige "Industry Workshop: Demand response and digitalization of demand side in district heating and cooling systems" ist eine gemeinsame Initiative von IEA EBC Annex 84 und IEA DHC TS4 und findet hybrid (online/ Aalborg Dänemark) statt.

Teaser:

Digital technologies combined with integration of buildings in the network operation are believed to make the whole energy system smarter, more efficient, and reliable and to boost the efficiency and the share of renewables in the system. In the future, digital applications might enable district energy systems to fully optimize their plant and network operation while empowering the end consumer via demand response actions.

Aim of the Workshop: 

  • to discuss the role of demand response and digitalization of the demand side as key in the green transition of DHC systems 
  • to present activities, challenges, and solutions from the industry perspective,
  • to get an impression of current commercial solutions
