INSIGHT INTO THE HEAT NETWORK
The EnergyGrip dashboard gives operators insight into how their district heating network performs. Data from across the network is automatically collected and clearly visualized, enabling faster detection of disruptions and better analysis of network performance.
This makes it possible to:
- locate disruptions more quickly
- deploy personnel and resources more efficiently
- continuously monitor network performance
Reliable data as the foundation
For heat suppliers, reliable and accurate data is essential for effectively managing their network and operational processes.
With EnergyGrip, data is collected directly from meters and installations within the network. The Nextalink gateway securely communicates these measurements, ensuring heat companies always have access to accurate and up-to-date information.
By supporting multiple communication channels, data collection remains stable and reliable. This creates a solid foundation for managing and optimizing district heating networks.
Flexible integration
District heating networks often consist of various systems, meters and installations from different suppliers. EnergyGrip integrates easily with existing infrastructure.
The platform works independently of brand or device type, allowing heat companies to develop and expand their network without being locked into a single technology.
Data from the heat network
A complete understanding of the network comes from combining different types of measurement data. EnergyGrip brings this data together in one overview.
This may include:
- consumption data from heat meters
- installation performance
- network pressure
- other sensor data from the heat network
By combining these data sources, operators gain better insight into network behavior and can detect irregularities more quickly.
Pressure sensors for insight into district heating networks
Pressure sensors for district heating networks provide insight into the pressure distribution throughout the system. Deviations can indicate leaks, disturbances or a network that is not optimally balanced.
By strategically placing pressure sensors throughout the network and connecting them to EnergyGrip, operators gain up-to-date insight into network pressure and trends. By combining pressure measurements with other network data, operators obtain a complete overview of network performance and can detect issues earlier.
Accurate and transparent billing
Reliable consumption data also forms the basis for a correct billing process. With EnergyGrip, heat companies gain independent insight into energy consumption, resulting in more accurate and transparent billing.
This provides:
- up-to-date consumption data
- improved overview of billing processes
- better control over billing quality
The Heat Network Platform
The Collective Heat Act (Wcw) and the energy transition are placing new demands on district heating networks. This requires professional and scalable network management.
That is why Aurum, together with Circet, developed the Heat Network Platform. In this model, technology, data and operations come together to support professional district heating management.
With real-time insight into network performance, smart asset control and 24/7 monitoring, the heat network can be centrally managed. Disruptions are automatically detected and addressed, either remotely or through field engineers.
The Heat Network Platform brings together network data, monitoring, operations and billing into one integrated approach. This creates a future-proof district heating network that complies with the Collective Heat Act and helps organizations manage their heat networks more efficiently.
