The Challenges… Ø District energy utilities are expected today to reduce energy consumption and CO 2 emissions. Ø District energy managers have little or no idea of what happens to the energy once it leaves the plant. SCADA systems allow for a partial monitoring of the network, but it does not provide the option to manage the network efficiently with fluctuations in demand changing weather conditions.

Termis Temperature optimization ● Determines anchor points for the inlet temperature of the plants, so that the total heat loss in the network is minimized T 1 T 2 Tmin 1, Tmin 2 T 3 > While at the same time ensuring comfort temperature at the consumers Confidential Property of Schneider Electric | Page 9
Termis is the most advanced, effect full and extensive simulation tool for improving system design and operation in district energy plants. Termis is the district energy plants’ tool for improving: > Energy consumption and hydraulic performance While reducing: > Energy cost > Operation cost > Customer complaints > Capital investments Confidential Property of Schneider Electric | Page 10
Termis Temperature Optimization The underlying Termis model accurately calculates: > Heat loss in the network > Transportation time for heating from plant to consumer > Storage capacity of the pipes and any heat storage tanks Heat storage – eg. to accomodate morning peaks – is automatically recommended if it is economically viable. Changes in fluctuations are handled in due time Smooth operation at minimum cost – saves energy! Confidential Property of Schneider Electric | Page 11

Termis Temperature Optimization Fully integrated in your SCADA system Prior knowledge of hydraulic is not neccesary Easy to get started Confidential Property of Schneider Electric | Page 13
Termis Temperature Optimization Benefits > Reduction in heat loss: Typically 10% of the current heat loss > Reliability in operation > Fluctuations in temperature are moved into the plant instead of being at the consumer -> saving costs in the net Confidential Property of Schneider Electric | Page 14
Termis Temperature Optimization Simplified savings calculation: Reduction = 1 - (((Tfo –Tout) + (Trn – Tout)) / ((Tft – Tout) + (Trt – Tout))) Tft = Supply side temperature, not optimized Trt = Return side temperature, not optimized Tout = Average outside temperature Tfo = Supply side temperature, optimized Trn = Return side temperature, optimized (normally equal to return side temperature not optimized) Confidential Property of Schneider Electric | Page 15
