Heating Efficiency Management System
Our platform to meet environmental challenges.
District heating and NRRP goals
District heating is a strategic resource for urban energy efficiency: it contributes to the overall reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the improvement of power generation, through the possibility of recovering excess heat and the more profitable and sustainable use of heating energy sources.
District heating is closely linked to the decarbonization, and ecological transition targets promoted by the European Community and by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan: a specific investment line of Mission 2 - Ecological Transition, Component 3 - Measure 3, has been foreseen by the NRRP for the financing of projects related to the construction of new networks or the extension of existing networks, for a total volume of 200 million euro.
LEAKAGE
Reducing leakage is the first goal that imperatively needs to be pursued for the health of the ecosystems and the resilience of water systems, fundamental for economic development, collective welfare, and the preservation of the planet.
SOURCES
More flexibility in the use of energy sources for the heating plants: Plants can be powered by combining different energy sources depending on the location of the plants.
PLANTS
Improved thermoregulation according to external parameters acquired in real-time (e.g. weather forecasts) and user conducts and preferences.
NETWORKS
Network efficiency, from the production plant to the utility “substations” (the exchange devices between the district heating network and the utility distribution circuit).
A platform for district heating
To support the management of the utility infrastructure impacted by the NRRP investment in the Heating domain, the specific technology platform dedicated to district heating integrates our Platforms and solutions (dedicated to the billing and maintenance area) with the best applications on the market while guaranteeing high-impact value solutions and advisory services, thanks to strong competences on business processes and enabling technologies.
The Platform covers all business processes end-to-end with an approach centered on Data Integration, with information from heterogeneous sources (IoT measurements coming from the substation, data on maintenance performed, user behaviours, weather forecasts) useful for building consumption curves (including forecasts) and feeding an effective Decision Support System (DSS).
Our Sistema Servizio Energia (SSE) solution is one of the infrastructure's main features and allows complete coverage of the management and billing processes of thermal plants (Energy Services, EPC contracts, Thermal Power Plants, District Heating, Cogeneration, Cooling).
