REGION Module

Model and optimise complex energy systems across multiple locations.

The REGION module includes facilities to define multiple sites within a region in which demands and production units are geographically separated.

From municipal energy systems to large-scale district heating grids

Geographically Aware Energy Planning

The REGION module enables modeling of energy systems where demands and production units are distributed across several distinct sites.

Visualise and Assign by Location

Assign each demand or production unit to a specific site. The graphical interface allows quick identification of what's located where — streamlining setup and planning.

Control Inter-Site Energy Transfers

Model limited capacities for transferring heat, process heat, or cooling between sites. This makes the REGION module ideal for simulating real-world infrastructure constraints and regional energy cooperation.

Hydraulic Calculations for District Heating

Go beyond static assumptions. energyPRO 5.0 introduces hydraulic calculations, enabling you to:

  • Simulate pipe capacity limits based on insulation, diameter, and roughness
  • Calculate flows for each timestep
  • Include pump energy in economic assessments

This feature is essential for realistic modeling of regional district heating networks.
