IEA EBC

Industry Workshop: Demand response and digitalization of demand side in district heating and cooling systems.

September 15, 2022, 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM UTC+2
Aalborg Forsyning
Nefovej 50, 9310 Vodskov (near Aalborg)
Denmark

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. The workshop is a joined initiative of IEA EBC Annex 84 and IEA DHC TS4 (TS4 webpage)

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
