Tool for assessing new renewable district heating and cooling systems
Analysing Options for new networks
How to use the WEDISTRICT Tool
The WEDISTRICT tool is a simulation platform that helps any stakeholder interested in district heating and cooling (DHC) networks who want to assess different DHC scenarios in a certain site by integrating a set of technologies relevant to new or existing DHCs including PV, geothermal heat pumps, advanced absortion chillers, concentrated solar plants, Fresnel collector, biomass boiler, solar flat collectors, etc.
By entering the site characteristics the user obtains a preliminary analysis with the most cost-effective technological solution joined with other environmental and social KPIs.
Who can use this tool:
- Communities
- House Owners
- Architects
- Engineers
How our tool was developed and tested
The tool was being developed by ATOS/EVIDEN within the Wedistrict project in cooperation with all technical partners.
The Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) and the University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest (UPB) tested the tool in a collabortive workshop. At a course on District heating and cooling within the Athens program.
Students from various European universities participated in this program and had the opportunity to test and validate the WEDISTRICT tool during a workshop.
