District Heating and Cooling Networks
Artelia employs strong expertise in district heating and cooling through numerous projects in France and the Nordic countries. Artelia supports its clients in all aspects of their projects: feasibility studies, design studies, project supervision, commissioning, audits and turnkey projects.
Within the projects, Artelia is involved as an expert in the fields of energy, environment and urban planning and provides assistance for the safety and the issuing of regulatory files. Artelia’s clients benefit from the company’s expertise in modelling and simulation tools, such as Termis, Thermoflow or EnergyPro, digital model tools, such as Revit or Plant 3D and design tools, such as Caesar II for pipes flexibility. In addition, Artelia has the ability to carry out 3D plans using FARO laser scanners.
Artelia masters all the expertise needed to strengthen the key role of district heating and cooling in the energy transition – heating and cooling from all renewable and recovery energy sources, energy efficiency of district networks and buildings, coupling of heat and cold supply, heat and cold storage – in order to reduce GHG emissions and use local energy resources.
Artelia assisted the Métropole Européenne de Lille in the renewal of the concession contract for its district heating network. The network, created in 1982, has undergone numerous phases of extension and renovation.
The framework agreement includes the design and work supervision for the development of the District Heating and Cooling networks in Paris-Saclay: supply network, heat exchangers, production system (heat exchanger between networks, waste heat recovery system…).
In order to modernise its network, CPCU, the Parisian District Heating Company, has entrusted Artelia with the management of the restoration of 32 infrastructures.
The Roslev’s District Heating network, which supplied energy mainly from woodchips, called on the strong expertise of MOE, Artelia group, to build a solar thermal field.
The district heating network of Chartres, which supplied 37 heat exchangers over a length of 6 km, produces energy from a 22 MW gas-fired boiler-room. In addition, an 8.5 MW cogeneration plant provides heat while producing electricity.
HOFOR is a Danish company that operates a district heating network and provides heat to 500,000 households in Copenhagen. In order to achieve the carbon neutrality goal of the city by 2050, the Amager power station needs to be converted.
The new Amager Bakke waste-to-energy plant is an exceptional building by virtue of both its striking steel structure and an original approach to embedding the facility within the urban community.
