Summary
The city utility of Munich, Germany, Stadtwerke München (SWM), has announced a new research project that aims to use AI to optimize the operations of geothermal district heating networks.
The project, called “EnEff_Netzregulation” is funded by the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection and will be carried out with project partners Institute for Automation Technology (IAT) at the University of Bremen, Technical Infrastructure Management department at HafenCity University (HCU) in Hamburg, and the district heating umbrella association AGFW.
The project initially involves researching and modeling energy losses. Sensors will record temperature and moisture in the ground at selected points in the SWM district heating network. Aging effects of the infrastructure will also modeled and verified using the data collected.
