Enterprise Intelligent Heating Management and Control System

Field of Application

Mid-sized and large-sized thermal energy enterprises

Solution Overview

With the heating network monitoring as the starting point, the enterprise-level intelligent heating management and control platform consists of a production monitoring system and a Metarge platform. The platform integrates the production and operational systems of heating enterprises. Based on the fusion of information resources and guided by the design philosophy of integration and co-governance, it merges various specific applications to achieve data sharing and application collaboration.
The overall control logic of the production monitoring system employs a multi-ring linkage control approach of "source, network, station, and user." By reasonably scheduling heat sources, coordinating resource distribution, and flexibly controlling dispatch, it achieves the goals of safe heating, optimized service, energy conservation, and carbon reduction, enhancing management and operational objectives.
The Metarge Platform realizes the linkage between production and operational management systems of thermal energy enterprises. By utilizing a unified data service platform, it consolidates production and operational data, facilitates cross-departmental business cooperation, data exchange, and application service coordination, and promotes the digital transformation of thermal energy enterprises.

Application Scenarios

Scenario 1: City-level heat network monitoring
The Metarge Platform is developed based on a microservices architecture. By aggregating, cleaning, governing, and integrating data from various business systems of thermal energy companies, it uses data analysis algorithms to develop advanced mathematical models. This approach addresses the limitations of classical control theories in complex heat network scenarios due to insufficient data dimensions. The platform analyzes and computes the operation status of heat sources, heat networks, and heating stations through measurement and statistics. Based on data governance, it optimizes network source control parameters, adjusts and forecasts heat supply loads, and achieves energy saving and consumption reduction in heat supply operations through energy consumption analysis and an intelligent diagnostic system.
Scenario 2: Long-distance heat network pipeline monitoring
The Metarge Platform employs advanced digital technologies to offer comprehensive monitoring, tiered alarms, and interlocking protection mechanisms for long-distance heat energy transmission processes. It enables full monitoring of long-distance pipelines, unified coordination and control of municipal heat networks, and establishes a shared data service system to ensure the safe and stable operation of long-distance heat energy transmission systems.
