Welcome to the Use Cases of the RESTORE Project

The overall RESTORE concept has been virtually implemented and optimized for six DHC Use-Cases with real data from the Use-Case providers.

The Virtual Use-Cases have been used to analyze potential configurations for integrating the RESTORE technology and renewable energy sources, potentially available on site, into different plants connected with DHC networks. The 6 Use-Cases integrate with real DHC networks spread over different locations in Europe, including large and small district heating networks:

• Use-Case 1 deals with a residential and industrial DH with biomass and solar collectors in Denmark
• Use-Case 2 deals with the integration of different heat sources in DH of a cement factory in Austria
• Use-Case 3 integrates RESTORE with different heat sources in DH of a paper mill in Slovakia
• Use-Case 4 deals with the integration of different heat sources in DH of a steel industry in Italy
• Use-Case 5 concerns the district heating with geothermal technology in a plant in Germany
• Use-Case 6 deals with the small-scale DHC network of an university campus in Italy

How to use

Most of the use cases include an interactive process model which allows you to access information about various details of the models like selected operating data and results of calculations. To access this information navigate to the respective process model and double click on any of the components. This opens a window with all the data.

You can also open the process model directly in the IPSE GO environment (https://about.ipsego.app) for additional details. If you have an IPSE GO account, you can open an own copy of the respecitve use case, modify it and run your own calcualtions.
