VI GENOMFÖR AGENDAN FÖR ETT GRÖNARE SAMHÄLLE
Welcome to an international conference
on district heating & cooling
25th of November 13.00 - 26th of November 12.00 (CET)
Last day for registration 19th of November
District heating and cooling is a key to the decarbonisation of Europe and the transition to sustainable energy. District energy networks still has challenges to overcome, but developments in modernizing and digitalizing existing grids and the advances of the next generation district heating and cooling show us the future.
You are invited to a conference with focus on innovative solutions of low temperature networks and in parallel, technologies to future proof the large systems already in operation. Some of the topics that will be covered in the conference includes 4GDH and low temperature district heating, optimization of existing grids, future energy sources including surplus heat and the use of district heating in areas of new, energy efficient buildings.

Solutions for safe tap water in buildings connected to low temp networks
​
Lower temperature in LTDH networks offers huge potentials and open up the systems to new energy sources, prosumers and optimization of energy flows with less environmental impact. A challenge when operating in really low in temperature is that hot water temperature in buildings needs to be boosted, primarily to prevent legionella. Given the increased energy efficiency in modern buildings the solutions for heating tap water is an increasingly important aspect of the buildings energy system.

How to introduce and replicate LTDH solutions
The Project COOL DH has developed a palette of technical solutions, put them together in two demo sites and are now looking to replicate this to new areas. After the successful demo site in Høje-Taastrup, the partners are now planning to transfer and refine the knowledge gained for further exploitation. Reto Michael Hummelshøj from COWI presents the demo site and technologies for replication and invite you to give input on some of the challenges of how to introduce and replicate low temperature DH solutions to similar neighbourhoods.

How Smart Energy System Integration becomes Reality:
Building Blocks and Challenges
​
As a fully integrated European utility, Vattenfall is committed to integrating different energy sectors in a cost-efficient manner and is investing in the growth of renewable energy sources in various European markets. Markus’ Asset Management division is responsible for the transformation of their district heating networks into fossil-free energy systems. Energy storage technologies and the integration of renewable electric are key for the decarbonization of the district heating and cooling sector.
​
District heating and cooling in Europe: The Green Deal
​
To overcome the societal and economic crisis caused by COVID-19, the European Union must implement a recovery plan, based on the core principles of the Green Deal. This plan should prioritise low-carbon investments, which will bolster the economy, while creating jobs and improving people’s health and life. DHC networks are ideally placed to speed up the green recovery and help to achieve EU climate and energy targets, by decarbonising heating and cooling in Europe.

PATRIK HERMANSSON, Öresundskraft, Sweden
Driving city innovation
​
How district heating companies can provide new value to cities.
THERESE NEHLER, Linköping University, Sweden
Knowledge platform for continuous monitoring of thermal energy systems research
​
Thermal energy systems have to be adapted to not only prevailing conditions but also to future challenges. Therefore, Energiforsk and Linköping University in Sweden have launched a platform for thermal energy systems research with the aim to further position and strengthen the development of renewable and competitive district heating and cooling systems. This knowledge platform will serve as a forum and for continuous monitoring of the research and news in respect to the context of thermal energy systems. In addition, the platform will also be a tool for simplifying knowledge procurement.
PAUL VOSS, Euroheat & Power, Belgium
SPEAKERS // PARALLEL SESSION 1
Low temperature and 4/5GDH grids
FRANCESCO ORIOLI, Soltigua, Italy
Wireless concentrating collectors for solar district heating applications
​

Low temperature and two-directional district heat in Finland
– case Skanssi
​
A presentation of Turku’s Sustainable Development District, where a two-directional and a low-temperature (65 ºC) district heating network is operated. The two-way system make local heat supply and heat-trade possible, and in the future heat-users can play a more active role in managing their own energy consumption.
HELEN CARLSTRÖM, E.ON, Sweden
Medicon Village - a full scale demo site for a 5th generation thermal grid
​
In modern cities there are enough thermal energy flows generated by human activity to provide the base for both heating and cooling of the entire city. By connecting buildings with different needs and balancing residual thermal energy flows between them, ectogrid™ effectively uses and reuses all available thermal energy and makes it possible to decrease both pollution and the energy consumption in a city.
OLA GUSTAFSSON, RISE, Sweden
Future Thermal Grids – challenges and needs for future development
​
What are the most important technical, legal and economic challenges that need to be addressed to be able to 5G thermal grids on a large scale basis. And how does digitalization, resilience and use of waste heat affect the development.
NIELS HANSEN, Albertslund Municipality, Denmark
From third to fourth generation district heating supply
​
​How Albertslund Municipality works with lowering the temperatures in an existing 3rd generation district heating area.
SOMIL MIGLANI, Energyville, Belgium
Digitalization is here and now – The Storm controller
​
​Digitalization of district heating networks is no longer the future. It has already become reality through the Storm controller. Storm controller provides data-driven demand side management for optimization of district heating networks. In this presentation, some basic principles of its working and examples from the field will be discussed.

WORKSHOPS
Take the chance and join the interactive and innovative workshops hosted by the pioneering project COOL DH. Real cases will be used to get an understanding of technical and non-technical challenges. Together with the problem owner, the participants will explore and develop ideas and solutions. You will gain new insights and the diversity of the participants will reveal new ideas to handle the challenges.
VIRTUAL TOUR
Virtual study visit to Lund and the world’s largest Low Temperature District Heating-grid
Cities are becoming a driving force in the change towards a sustainable development and the city district Brunnshög is a European role model, a pioneer at the forefront of development.
One of the sustainability goals for Brunnshög is to minimize climate impact. The work in the project COOL DH is key to reaching this goal. The research facilities ESS and MAX IV generate large amounts of excess heat. To benefit from this, Kraftringen is constructing the world’s largest low-temperature district heating (LTDH) network. The energy, which would otherwise go to waste, is effectively reused - fully in line with Brunnshög’s vision for sustainable urban development.
During the study visit, we will make short pit stops to some of the places in Brunnshög, displaying key elements of the new LTDH-grid, from production to use. It is our ambition that you who participate will learn and get inspired when considering LTDH as an energy efficient and sustainable solution to both existing and future city districts.
