In September 21, partners of the European project D2GRIDS gathered for a three-day sprint session. The objective? Determine a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) to quantify the core principles of 5GDHC. These KPIs will help get a better understanding of how current energy networks perform. In this article, you will discover how the 5 principles of 5th generation district heating and cooling can be assessed with concrete indicators.
The goal: setting a benchmark of 5GDHC grids.
To do so, more data is needed from other energy systems to see how they score on the KPIs defined within D2Grids, and why.
This will contribute to set an ambitious yet reasonable benchmark.
Are you working on a DHC grid that could be assessed through those KPIs? Discover how you can send us your data at the end of (...)
