EA-SAS Heating feature: Cost optimization of <\/em><\/strong>grid <\/em><\/strong>thermal losses and electricity for pump<\/em><\/strong>. Digital Twin functionality allows to optimally control Network Pumps and DHN supply temperature based on thermal and electrical energy costs in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Higher supply temperature results in higher thermal losses, lower mass flow and pump electricity consumption and vice versa. EA-SAS Heating automatically evaluates thermal and electrical energy costs<\/em><\/strong> as well as network operation mode, thermal energy production and demand,<\/em><\/strong> delivers relevant control Set Points to operator or directly to control system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EA-SAS Heating is a Digital Twin and AI based solution<\/em><\/strong> designed to optimize District Heating Network Control through continuous<\/em><\/strong> calculation<\/em><\/strong> of Heating Network and Boiler House mass and energy balance also advanced automatic set points control<\/em><\/strong>. EA-SAS Heating does not require additional investments<\/em><\/strong> to infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n EA-SAS Heating as a service<\/em><\/strong> delivers 24\/7 availability<\/em><\/strong> of Digital Twin solution without hardware changes and ROI less than 1 year<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is the difference between Digital Twin and standard Control system (SCADA)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditional control systems rely on data collection from equipment and PLC control logic, however human is responsible for setpoint decision and change. Digital Twin together with Artificial Intelligent based algorithms deliver setpoints to the PLC instead of operator. Optimized control Setpoints are delivered each minute, instead of humans with hourly delay.<\/p>\n\n\n
