RAPIDH: Optimising Industrial Heat & District Heating with energyPRO

How can industrial companies and district heating utilities work together to reduce energy costs, improve efficiency and accelerate decarbonisation? The RAPIDH project is developing new capabilities in EMD International's energyPRO software to support smarter energy planning and investment decisions across industry and district heating. In this video, EMD International explains how energy modelling and digital twins can help industrial companies and district heating operators evaluate different energy scenarios, optimise heat flows and identify opportunities for collaboration. Discover how RAPIDH enables: ✅ Integrated energy planning – Connecting industrial processes with district heating systems. ✅ Digital twins – Modelling existing energy systems and comparing future scenarios. ✅ Industrial electrification – Exploring alternative technologies and energy supply options. ✅ Surplus heat utilisation – Identifying opportunities for heat exchange between industry and district heating networks. ✅ Investment decision support – Evaluating how electricity prices, gas prices, and taxes influence future energy solutions. By looking beyond individual technologies and considering entire energy systems, RAPIDH helps businesses make more informed decisions about their energy transition.
