SO WHAT Training

Supporting new opportunities for waste heat and cold
valorisation towards EU decarbonization

SO WHAT
Training

SO WHAT main objective is to develop and demonstrate an integrated software which will support Industries, Energy Utilities, Municipalities and also Academic Sector in selecting, simulating and comparing alternative Waste Heat and Waste Cold (WH/C) exploitation technologies that could cost-effectively balance the local forecasted H&C demand also via RES integration.

Thanks to SO WHAT training, you will be able to:

  • understand how to enhance WH / C
  • identify the best technology to implement
  • identify the most suitable business model for your company
  • analyze the legal framework and regulatory issues related to the different options

Industrial sector

You will learn how sell waste heat and cold energy, how reuse internally waste heat energy and renewable energy, how purchase external waste heat and/or cold energy and renewable energy.

Municipality / Energy agency

You will learn how reuse waste heat energy and renewable energy, how map the condition given and simulate additional configurations. You will be able to compare the results via a KPI panel and choose a wise option for the reuse heat and cold, both in the industrial perimeter but also outside it.

Academic sector

You will learn new technics to be updated with the technologies available; you can deepen your knowledge on cutting edge technologies for WH/C recovery as well as specific schemes for the integration of the recovered energy.

To help you on the knowledge of the tool we propose 3 training modules:

Free

Module 1

How to investigate your energy consumption, the potential of WH/C Technologies and how to exploit it externally to the industrial plant.

Free

Module 2

Suitable business and financing schemes for WH/C installation.

Free

Module 3

Using SO WHAT Tool.

Main objectives

Module 1

Exploring the Module 1, you will achieve both high-level information about industrial energy consumption, following standard auditing techniques and insights about the WH/C technologies that could be implemented.
You will learn about general SO WHAT project concepts, analysis and methodologies that will be implemented in the tool.

Module 2

The Module 2 will allow you to understand the limitations and how they can take advantage of WH/C for industries and learn about socio-economics by the implementation of new technology or local RES benefitting the EU.

Module 3

In Module 3 you will understand the SOWHAT tool, its advantages, how the tool can simulate both the industrial environment and the surrounding community on a single platform. You will learn how map, accommodate, simulate and post-process the data collected and prove the solutions for further query and cross-check the steps you have followed correctly for the understanding of user knowledge. 
You will also know the chronology of the creation: inputs, technologies, outcomes.
