[D2Grids] The newsletter #6 of the D2Grids project is out !

In this February newsletter, we invite you to discover the different features and technical aspects of #5GDHC systems through an article about the main principles of 5GDHC and a preliminary version of its generic technology model.

You will also read about multiple great news from project partners in Nottingham (UK), Brunssum (Netherlands), and Bochum (Germany). Through these pilot sites, we are learning every day about innovative ways to adapt 5GDHC to all types of areas. We will also share some insights on district heating and cooling in Europe: advantages of lowering the temperature for a heating network, and the need for ambitious policies for renewable heating and cooling in a report by REN21, IRENA, and IEA.

The project "demand-driven grids" (D2GRIDS), funded under Interreg North West Europe (NWE) program, aims to develop 5th generation urban heating and cooling networks (5GDHC) in European cities, with the use of renewable energies, energy storage, and smart grids. 

The project will last over 3 years (2018-2022). Mijnwater Ltd. based in the Netherlands is the lead partner. The project comprises 12 partners and 7 secondary partners. Five pilot sites located in Paris-Saclay (France), Bochum (Germany), Brunssum (Netherlands), Glasgow, and Nottingham (United Kingdom) will develop 5GDHC networks.
