Energy transition with low carbon district heating
We provide smart District Heating Control Systems and Field Applications
Our reliable system helps with the transition to more sustainable and energy-efficient district heating solutions. Our smart connected devices can integrate entire district heating network into a single platform, providing high flexibility and requiring very little maintenance from customers.
We offer solutions opening the way towards net zero carbon emissions and reduced heat losses with connectivity, digitalization and IT integration.
Challenges in District Heating sector we help to face
- Growing pressure to reduce CO2 emissions
- Need for refurbishment of existing networks
- Efforts to obtain public funds
- Moving towards sustainable energy
- Strong focus on decarbonisation
- Transition to 4th generation district heating systems
- Use of digitalisation, AI and machine learning
- Integration of all information across networks into a single platform
Cyber security in energy sectors
The scale of digital connectivity in the heating industry has increased significantly in recent years. However, digitalisation is revealing more and more vulnerabilities in the security of hardware and software systems, resulting in an increasing number of cyber attacks. We urge companies to implement cyber security practices and proactively work to prevent hackers from gaining access to heat distribution systems, as this could result in serious consequences. Imagine a cyberattack in the dead of winter, resulting in shutting down the heat for the entire system on the network; offices, households, shelters...
Cyber security is critical to maintaining the resilience of the heating industry to cyber threats.
We can support you in assessing risks, considering systems and data flows or planning specific actions and setting targets. When it comes to implementing technology in the operational area, cyber security starts at the control level.
Why is SBC the right solution?
We help to optimize the energy consumption through a connected platform offering full solution from one supplier. Our solution architecture includes cloud based integrated software connected with robust, compatible (including backwards compatibility) controls and field devices.
Our supervisor enables to achieve:
- Openness: Open interfaces and standard protocols on controller and supervisor level to support easy integration into BMS systems
- Efficiency: Seamless data migration – from all controllers to presentation layers
- Full Control: Strong user rights management, single pane of glass for everyday maintenance
- IT Compliance: Compatible and fully cyber secure PLC according to IEC62443 standard in combination with redundant CPUs to keep your installation secure without interruption for entire operations
Sustainable district heating
Decarbonization has become more urgent than ever. The necessity to fight climate change led to transformations in many industrial sectors and the pace of public investments to decarbonize heating in Europe significantly increased. The DH systems generally use fossil fuels, but some use cleaner renewable energy sources, enabling to reduce outdoor and indoor pollution and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. District heating has the power to heat residential and commercial buildings in a more sustainable way, thus this sector will play a major role in the coming years making the energy transition possible and becoming environmentally-friendly heating solution.
