In collaboration with Stockholm Exergi, Sigholm is working to develop the next generation of system optimisation using the AbS (Aurora by Sigholm) software.
The goal is an optimisation that is not only based on heat, electricity and cooling production, but also links it to other parts of the energy system, such as support services, power balancing, bio-CCS and fuel planning. We bring together most of Stockholm's energy system in one platform in a way that no one has done before.
Integrated optimisation models for more efficient district heating production
In a first step, optimisation models for district cooling and district heating/cogeneration production will be linked. In parallel with this, system support is being developed for more efficient settlement between Stockholm Exergi and its partners in district heating production in the Stockholm region. We are also developing system support for power equalisation planning, electricity production planning and have also initiated analysis work on how customer load forecasts can be improved and perhaps used in the long term to make better use of the district heating network and thus reduce production costs.
