« The ADP Group (Aéroport de Paris) develops and operates three airport platforms in the Paris region (Charles De Gaulle, Orly, and Le Bourget), each with its own energy systems. Across these different sites, the ADP Group operates heating and cooling networks that supply the various airport infrastructures. The total energy distributed amounts to more than 300 GWh across the three platforms.
As part of our internal engineering activities and expertise in monitoring the energy performance of our facilities, we were looking for a comprehensive and easy-to-use thermal-hydraulic simulation software solution that could model both chilled water networks and heating networks. The software solution also needed to be capable of handling the complexity inherent in our networks, whose production mix combines geothermal, biomass, gas, and other energy sources, and ideally could eventually migrate to a ‘digital twin’ as an operational optimization tool.
After a comparative analysis and testing of various solutions available on the market, we chose the DistrictLab-H SimulationStudio software. »
