District heating networks suffer from high peak demand leading to inflated operational costs. High supply and return temperatures in the distribution network can cause up to 20% of the heat to be lost.

Developers of products or systems powered by batteries, or of equipment for heating and cooling, for example, can turn to VITO/EnergyVille for a wide range of tests that meet all their possible questions and needs.

In the field of heating and cooling with heating networks, Flanders is facing a catching-up proces

The STORM District Energy Controller that uses advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) based algorithms was deployed on the district heating network in Paris-Saclay in November 2021.

VITO and NODA bring their industry-leading technology for smart control of district heating networks to the Chinese market in collaboration with Runa, a leading heating equipment manufacturer in China. 

VITO/Energyville was chosen as a supplier of its smart control technology for district heating networks, for the AI4Cities project.

The fact that we cannot go on heating our homes and businesses using fossil fuels forever is no secret.

The STORM project has successfully developed an innovative district heating and cooling network controller based on self-learning algorithms and artificial intelligence,  which was deployed and tested in two demonstration sites.

Not only the extent of the energy consumption, but also the moment of consumption affects the energy bill and the greenhouse gas emissions of large customers.
