07.08.2020 Industrial excess heat for district heating: Database shows great potential for supplying households
Excess heat from energy-intensive industries is often suitable for use in district heating systems but is usually unutilized. A detailed overview of the potentials available in the EU is now provided by a database of the sEEnergies project. In Germany, 29 petajoules of excess heat from industrial sites could be used, which corresponds to the demand of more than half a million households. The information is available as maps and downloadable datasets.

12.02.2016 Successful FORECAST/eLOAD workshop held in Rio de Janeiro
Together with a team from the Catholique University of Rio de Janeiro, we used the FORECAST and eLOAD models to assess the future evolution of electricity demand in Brazil up to the year 2050. After two years of data collection, model calibration and training, the one-week workshop marked a major milestone: designing scenarios for the residential, services and industry sectors in Brazil.

19.10.2015 The Shape of Future Electricity Demand: Exploring Load Curves in 2050s Germany and Britain
The eLOAD model was recently used to assess the evolution of hourly load curves in Germany and Great Britain until the year 2050. The same exercise was performed by the DESSTinEE model to benchmark the results from eLOAD. Both models come to very similar conclusions.

12.08.2015 Recent research paper outlines how end-use-specific load profiles can be generated from smart-meter data
The eLOAD model uses end-use-specific hourly load profiles to perform long-term load forecasts. A recent research paper demonstrates how such end-use-specific load profiles can be generated using load data records from smart meter surveys.
