From heat planning to operational optimization: Digital Twins are becoming central to the planning, operation and transformation of district heating networks. There is no single approach, though. Their focus ranges from municipal heat planning and network expansion to the optimization of existing networks. This ASEW web seminar gives municipal utilities a compact market overview and helps them see which type of Digital Twin fits which task. The online event is open exclusively to Stadtwerke and is free of charge for ASEW members. heatbeat will present its Digital Twin built on real operational data. The talk covers how combining a network model with measurement data supports transparent monitoring, early fault detection and concrete measures to optimize network operation.

In its webinar week, baeren.io and its partners present practical online sessions for metering service providers, water utilities and heating network operators. The third day focuses on local and district heating. The webinars take place on Microsoft Teams, and each session has its own registration. heatbeat will show how heating networks can be planned at lower cost and operated more efficiently with a Digital Twin. Planning options such as network extensions, new heat generators or lower flow temperatures can be tested in the Digital Twin before they are implemented. For existing networks, measurement and meter data help pinpoint energy losses and identify starting points for more efficient operation.

HEATEXPO is the leading international trade fair for innovative heating and cooling solutions, bringing the future of energy to life. Leading companies present technologies and solutions along the entire value chain – from plant engineering and infrastructure to digital innovations. We at heatbeat will be there, demonstrating how the heatbeat Digital Twin is revolutionizing the planning, simulation, and optimization of heating and cooling networks. With our digital solutions, we support municipalities, public utilities, and energy suppliers in decarbonizing and efficiently implementing the energy transition. Visit us at HEATEXPO 2026 – we look forward to connecting with you!
