Important results from the project
We achieved full target achievement even though plans and budgets have changed during the course of the project. We have learned a lot from the collaboration within the group and outside the group with others, especially experts in Germany and Italy who have proven to be extremely competent and complementary to ourselves. We have found that digitalization of district heating distribution is increasing rapidly but it is difficult to collaborate on user interfaces.
Expected long term effects
The need for modern data-driven maintenance is very important in all our utility industries, i.e. decentralized infrastructure that delivers electricity, heating, cooling, water, sewage, communication, gas, etc.
The accumulated maintenance debt is enormous and we must find smart predictive methods to prioritize replacement and modernization.
Approach and implementation
AP1 plan fulfilled. Conflicts resolved.
AP2, 20 meetings with foreign district heating companies and the process industry.
AP3 fulfilled the goals but as stated in the researchers´ article, collaboration with other partners is difficult, Coopetition. Innovation ecosystem benefits from complementarity.
AP4 has fulfilled the goals. Plan to migrate to a cloud solution has been delayed and instead more server capacity. AP5 – spread - Öresundskraft, Högskolan Halmstad and RISE..
