TERMIS

• TERMIS is designed to assist district energy
  companies in maximizing efficiency, while
  minimizing operational costs.
• As one of the leading standards within
  model-based simulation software, TERMIS utilizes
  the latest technology to provide outstanding
  performance, stability and productivity.

TERMIS

• With off-line, on-line and real-time
  capabilities, TERMIS combines a design, planning
  and operational tool into one package for
  day-to-day network management.

The Clients say
The large investments we have made in GIS and
SCADA can now be used in an active and dynamic
manner, as TERMIS automatically generates
simulation models from GIS data and utilizes
SCADA data. Mr. Bruno Højrizi, GIS department
manager, Aalborg DH company

• We have saved approx. 7 million US since we
  started implementing the TERMIS Real-Time
  Management System in 1990. Savings that benefit
  our customers.
• Mr. Per Rimmen, Director Odense DH company

5
The Clients say

• Our goal was to have a network simulation model
  that is always updated with consumer and GIS
  data, which is easy to work with on a daily basis
  and which makes optimisation a flexible task.
• Mr. Bjarne Holm, planning department manager,
  Aalborg DH company

It was important for us to to choose a software
package which ensures that we can utilise all our
GIS registrations completely, and at the same
time provides the possibility to integrate our
SCADA, GIS and billing systems with on-line
network simulations. Mr. Ronald Thauland, IT
Manager, Viken DH company

TERMIS Modules

• The following modules are available
• TERMIS
• TERMIS provides static hydraulic dynamic
  temperature simulations.
•  
• Surge
• Surge provides a fully transient simulation
  environment based upon the hydraulic model and
  supplemented with transient operational elements.
• Steam
• Steam provides simulations of pipeline network
  with steam in the supply pipes.

8
TERMIS Modules

• The following modules are available
• MODEL MANAGER
• MODEL MANAGER (MM) provides a generic interface
  for automatic model building and maintenance via
  GIS and billing systems.
•  
• DATA MANAGER
• DATA MANAGER (DM) is a standard database (SQL
  server or Access) for handling historical on-line
  data and real-time data from SCADA, billing
  systems and loggers. DM includes a user interface
  for configuration of SCADA tag, ID, etc., as well
  as visualization of data stored in the database.

TERMIS Modules

• The following modules are available
• Automatic Calibration
• The Automatic Calibration module automatically
  provides the best calibration values for overall
  heat loss, pipeline roughness or diameter.
• Pump Production Optimization
• The Pump Production Optimization module
  determines how the pumps and the producers on a
  district energy network shall operate at any
  given time in order to minimize the total cost of
  operation for the entire network.

10
TERMIS Modules

• The following modules are available
• Grabber
• The Grabber module visualizes the detailed piping
  and equipment in the plants, pump stations, etc.
  in the TERMIS simulation model environment. The
  latest updated process measurements from the
  SCADA system are presented on the Grabber
  screens.
•  
• ASP Thin Client
• The ASP provider is responsible for the Clients
  models on a server and the Clients can remotely
  access their models via a Thin Client solution.

TERMIS Areas of use

• Off-Line
• TERMIS is an important tool for planning and
  design.
• On-Line/Real-Time
• The TERMIS model runs continuously on SCADA data
  and provides for optimisation of the supply of
  energy 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.
• TERMIS is used by planners and operators, as well
  as management because of the achieved benefits
  and increased understanding of the network
  processes here and now.

12
Why On-Line/Real-Time?

• Continuous surveillance control of process
  parametres - now and in the future.
• Complete optimisation of the processes.
• Early warning about future problems.
• Pro-active operation and control.
• Optimised energy consumption.
• Balanced use of pumps and storage.
• Base planning and design on a model which is
  updated and calibrated all the time.
• The On-Line/Real-Time system turns data and
  results from applications into valuable
  information - information which it normally would
  take days to establish.

13
Did you know that

• TERMIS monitors the process in every single
  location of the district energy network.
•  
• TERMIS forecasts the process providing
  pro-active and operational performance of the
  district energy system.
•  
• TERMIS lets you follow the entire process via 3D
  animated colour plots.
•  
• TERMIS allows remote operation via thin client
  technology.
•  
• TERMIS provides automatic building and
  maintenance of the simulation models from
  corporate GIS and billing systems.
