Problem
Planning and designing district heating and cooling (DHC) networks is traditionally a time-consuming process, often taking months and requiring extensive manual calculations. Inaccurate forecasting and budget overruns are common due to the complexity of integrating various energy sources and predicting energy demands.
Solution
Planeto's TESSA software is a web-based platform designed to streamline the planning and design of district heating and cooling networks. It automates the planning process, enabling users to quickly compare different scenarios, integrate renewable energy sources, and accurately size pipes. The software assists in all phases of a DHC project, from feasibility studies to network implementation and operation, significantly reducing planning time and optimizing costs. TESSA allows for flexible scenario analysis, integration of local energy sources, and clear data visualization, facilitating better decision-making and improved project outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes energy engineers, district heating planners, and municipalities involved in designing, implementing, and optimizing district heating and cooling networks.
