District Energy: The Power to Change - Technologies











By aggregating the needs of multiple customers, district energy systems increase scale to enable investment in technologies that might not otherwise be feasible on a single customer-building scale, such as fuel-flexible CHP; industrial heat pumps; energy-sharing; geothermal and bio-fuels. Getting to multi-building scale also facilitates applications like microgrids; industrial thermal recovery; thermal storage and other approaches to reduce peak grid demand.
