Project development phase “Network planning to detailed planning”<\/h3><\/div>

A heating network is not a product of intuition – it is the result of a well-founded, technical and economic evaluation process. Only a comparison of variants, impact analysis and detailed planning can turn an idea into a feasible project. EXAVY<\/strong> accompanies this process methodically and in an integrated manner – from the rough conception to the resilient network concept, which harmonizes technical feasibility, economic efficiency and eligibility for funding. What we develop specifically for the project: <\/p>\n<\/div>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    Comparison of technical grid variants – <\/strong>comparison of grid architectures (e.g. cold grid, high temperature, LowEx) according to efficiency, cost, effect<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    Evaluate generation and source options – <\/strong>scenarios for heat sources (waste heat, solar thermal energy, CHP, heat pump) and their combinability<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    Dimensioning and grid routing – <\/strong>connected load, grid losses, temperature levels and routing<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • <\/i><\/span>
    \n

    Viability and sustainability assessment – <\/strong>technical and ecological impact, CO\u2082 savings, life cycle costs<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

    \n

    Optimization via scenarios and variants – <\/strong>simulation of technical, regulatory and economic scenarios<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

    Transfer to an integrated network concept – <\/strong>consolidation of all options into a precise concept with cost framework and operating scenarios<\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Scope of the module<\/h3><\/div>

    EXAVY develops viable grid concepts<\/strong> – resilient for approval, funding, operation and investment. We manage the planning process from a technical, economic and regulatory perspective – including a comparison of variants, LCOH evaluation and sustainability assessment. <\/p>\n<\/div>
