The aim of the project is to develop software for the design and control of flexible operation of
local heat sources (heat pumps, cogeneration units) and electricity (photovoltaic power plants)
enabling interaction between the electricity and heat grid in communities using shared heat
storage. The tool developed on the basis of a detailed parametric simulation analysis will allow to
maximize the local use of shared electric energy within a defined community energy system by
extending it also to the sharing of thermal energy (heat sharing between buildings, short-term
decentralised heat storage, long-term shared heat storage).The software provided by the project
partner FERAMAT ENERGIES will be designed for energy communities, municipalities and
operators of small district heating systems.
