Combined building and plant simulation in real time

In a dynamic building simulation, the zones (rooms) are in contact with their surroundings and with the adjacent building components, the people, equipment and objects located in them. In the combined building and plant simulation, the dynamic interaction between building, plant and control is also taken into account. A building and plant simulation, adapted in real time to the actual weather conditions and current measurement data from the building, can help to optimize the control of the building services and thus reduce energy costs and increase user comfort.

Two Austrian demonstration building digital twin

In recent years, AEE INTEC has completed two projects for the development and initial implementation of a digital twin on real buildings in Austria. This digital twin is a detailed simulation model using IDA ICE software, which is compared in real time with measurement data from a real building. This creates a model that represents the real condition of the building and its building services at any given time. This model can then be used for automated fault detection or to optimize control systems. The aim is to reduce energy consumption and improve user comfort.

High-temperature storage tanks at 160 °C ensure heat supply at night

The solar process heating plant was built in 2023 by Azteq/Solarlite, is operated by ENGIE Spain and supplies heat to the Heineken Sevilla brewery. In addition to the parabolic trough solar area of 43,000 m² (30 MW thermal output), high-temperature storage tanks (8 x 200 m³) ensure a high solar share of 60-70%.

Final meeting of the IEA SHC Task 64 in Seville with a tour of Europe's largest solar process heat plant

The final meeting of the IEA SHC Task 64 took place in Seville. Europe's largest solar process heat plant was visited as part of the meeting. It was built in 2023 by Azteq/Solarlite, is operated by ENGIE Spain and supplies heat to the Heineken Sevilla brewery. In addition to the parabolic trough solar area of 43,000 m² (30 MW thermal output), high-temperature storage tanks (8 x 200 m³) ensure a high solar share of 60-70%.
