District heating: strategic concept for IT systems for load management and operation monitoring, Fernwärme Wien GmbH, Austria
Fichtner assists the district heating system operator in working out a strategic concept for further development of IT systems for load management and operation monitoring. The focus is on specifying robust structures and interfaces with improved integration of I&C and automation technologies into IT systems and – as far as possible under the constraints of stringent safety and dependability aspects – system-wide information flows. Alongside a long-term strategy, a road map is defined with a start made on implementing this even while conceptual design is still underway.
