In a transformative partnership with the GAUSS Institute - Bitola and 100% Renewables from Berlin, the EUKI project "Renewable Power-to-Heat in Bitola Region" emerges as a beacon of sustainable development for the area. This innovative initiative is set to drive the decarbonization of Bitola's energy system and seamlessly integrate renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and biomass into its District Heating System (DH), marking a significant step forward in the region's sustainability journey.
The project is backed by a team of expert advisors specializing in engineering, technical specifications of heat pumps, and geology, ensuring comprehensive coverage across all implementation aspects. Every facet of the transition, from district heating analysis to heat pump assessment and calculation of electricity coverage by renewable energy sources, is meticulously planned. Future heating price assessment and potential financing avenues are scrutinized to ensure economic viability.
The cutting-edge tool nPro facilitates Energy Systems Modeling at the heart of this endeavor, enabling the simulation of various heating, cooling, and electricity demands coupled with renewable and non-renewable energy sources, offering invaluable insights for capacity optimization and scenario planning. The SGIS Software tool captures the spatial elements of the study, from network pipe lengths to system design and building demand, paving the way for future DH system development in Bitola. Its intuitive interface allows for enhanced visualization of results, empowering planners to make informed decisions post-project completion.
Bitola's embrace of renewable power-to-heat technology accelerates its transition toward sustainability and sets a powerful precedent for other regions. Through collaboration, innovation, and meticulous planning, Bitola is not just redefining its energy landscape but also inspiring a greener, more resilient future for all.
