Objective “With a user-centric design, we will contribute to next-generation District Heating & Cooling systems” The OPTi project aspires to create a long-lasting impact by rethinking the way DHC systems are architected and controlled. The overarching goal is to create business benefit for the industry as well as to ensure optimal end-consumer satisfaction. OPTi will deliver methodologies and tools that will enable accurate modelling, analysis and control of current and envisioned DHC systems. The methodology will be deployed both on a complete system level, and on the level of a building(s). OPTi will treat the DHC system as a system subject to dynamic control, and will treat thermal energy as a resource to be controlled for DHC systems towards saving energy and reducing peak loads. This will lead to the most environmentally-friendly way of utilizing energy sources, thus reducing the reliance on additional boilers running on oil and/or electricity and overall providing a socio-economically sustainable environment. OPTi will help energy companies to operate both today’s and future DHC systems in an optimal way:• System level: We envision opportunities for SMEs to provide new services/solutions• House level: More intelligent home DHC control systems like remote control and the consumer “virtual knob” (• General: We foresee that the OPTi framework will enable engineers to design and plan DHCLuleå Energi AB invests 45 MEUR (2014-2018) in their DHC to meet the requirements from the expanding Luleå City. This will enhance the system and allow for new solutions to be deployed and is directly beneficial for this project.• Saving 30% of energy for water and heating on a system level • Saving 30-40% of peak consumption on houses/clusters of houses• Promote ways of operating today’s and future DH/DC systems in more optimized and environmentally friendly way including alternative energy sources and energy storage methods Fields of science engineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringcontrol systemsengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsrenewable energyengineering and technologymechanical engineeringthermodynamic engineeringsocial scienceseconomics and businessbusiness and managementbusiness models Programme(s) H2020-EU.3.3. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Secure, clean and efficient energy Main Programme H2020-EU.3.3.1. - Reducing energy consumption and carbon foorpint by smart and sustainable use Topic(s) EE-13-2014 - Technology for district heating and cooling Call for proposal H2020-EE-2014-2015 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-EE-2014-2-RIA Funding Scheme RIA - Research and Innovation action Coordinator LULEA TEKNISKA UNIVERSITET Net EU contribution € 647 250,00 Address UNIVERSITETSOMRADET PORSON 971 87 Lulea Sweden See on map Region Norra Sverige Övre Norrland Norrbottens län Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 647 250,00 Participants (7) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all ATHENS UNIVERSITY OF ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS - RESEARCH CENTER Greece Net EU contribution € 289 375,00 Address KEFALLINIAS STREET 46 11251 Athens See on map Region Αττική Aττική Κεντρικός Τομέας Αθηνών Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 289 375,00 IBM India Private Limited India Net EU contribution € 321 005,00 Address Subramanya Arcade, 12 Bannerghatta Road 560029 Bengaluru See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 321 005,00 SAMPOL INGENIERIA Y OBRAS S.A.
