Seinäjoen Energia Oy

District heating system strategic development update (2024)

  • District heating system simulation update
  • Simulation of thermal batteries and electric boilers as part of district heat production
  • Assessment of the profitability of new investments

Investment preparation for thermal batteries and electric boilers (2021-2022)

  • During the preparation phase of the project, Novox prepared profitability calculations for the project using a heat consumption and production simulation model.
  • In addition, Novox tendered the thermal battery implementation contract and construction engineering contracts
  • Novox also served as the main designer of the project and handled the duties of the foreman responsible for the site

Strategic development of the district heating system (2020)

  • Investigation and planning work on the alignment and development of heat production
  • Simulation of the district heating system, which looked at the benefits and possibilities that can be achieved with the help of new plants and equipment
  • Control and optimization of the district heating network according to the rapid and wide fluctuation of the price of electricity
  • Technical economic assessment of heat production

The reforms implemented by Seinäjoki Energia as a result of the development work:

  • Thermal battery (10,000 m3 / 350 MWh)
  • Electric boiler (40 MW)
  • Optimized electricity and heat production
  • The possibility of storing inexpensive heat by taking advantage of fluctuations in the price of electricity
