Digital heat grid control system for
district heating and connected heating grids
Industrial heat, large heat pumps, solar and geothermal systems: the heating transition is bringing a multitude of new feeders and operating concepts to district heating. Heating networks are becoming more complex and dynamic - but still need to be controlled efficiently, reliably and economically. For energy suppliers, this means more systems, more data, more responsibility.
Time for a digital solution that takes your networks to the next level:
Our SE²OPERATOR heat control system
To guarantee security of supply and optimum operational management, you need intelligent control systems that support you in real time - from monitoring to optimization. As a central control system, SE²OPERATOR aggregates all the components of a heating network and visualizes them transparently from the energy center to the transfer station.
Advantages of our scalable
heat grid control system
- Professional SCADA system
- A heat control system for local heat grids and connected heating networks
- Control of hydraulically connected energy stations possible
- Visualization, monitoring and operation of all generation systems
- Clear operational management and optimization
- Alarming, reporting and trending
- Remote access and control
Everything centrally in view and under control
For optimum support in day-to-day operations
Renewables preferred
The prioritization of producers makes it possible to maximize the share of renewable producers in the heat supply in a targeted manner. In this way, the targeted primary energy factor and thus the corresponding heat quality can be reliably achieved.
Grid expansion
As a modular system with standardized interfaces, our control system can be scaled in all conceivable directions at any time - from a single heating grid to an interconnected heating system with several energy centers feeding into it.
Remote Access
Stay flexible even from a distance. Even when it comes to where you work. Secure remote access allows you to intervene at any time, right down to the manual operating level of the units, to manually adjust the configuration, setpoints, limit values, etc.
Trends & Analyses
Every login, every setpoint, every change is documented. Automated or manual evaluations can then be carried out exactly as required for optimum operation of the district and local heating grid.
Data Security
Data and system security are the top priority in heat supply. That's why the SE²OPERATOR is a professional SCADA system. That is why we are an ISO/IEC 27001 certified company.
Alerts & Diagnosis
Errors and faults happen. That's why SE²OPERATOR provides a wide range of alarm channels. The information is available quickly. This also facilitates subsequent diagnosis and troubleshooting.

Expansion possible at any time, with individual support.
Dynamic Weak Point Management
Improves efficiency and security of supply, especially in large heating systems where the weak points cannot be supplied by all energy centers. For this purpose, network topological boundary conditions are mapped between weak point measurements and the energy station centers, thus increasing data depth and control precision.
External Storage Management
Get more out of your RE generators. Renewable generators are often unable to exploit their full potential in combination with existing fossil fuel generators. With the help of an allocation matrix, the existing storage facilities are preferentially loaded by CO2-neutral generators, thus maximizing the RE share of heat.
Interconnected Heat Grids Control
Extension module for the automated operation of an interconnected heating grids. The network control ensures reliable and efficient operation of the district heating, even if several generators at several locations in different energy stations feed into a heating grid.
Digital twin
The digital modeling of all producers, consumers and grid lines creates added value on several levels. Investment costs can be significantly reduced as early as the planning stage with a heating grid simulation. During operation and based on AI forecasts, a digital twin can significantly minimize network losses and optimize heat generation costs.
Automated interfaces to the field level
Transfer of configuration data from the SE²MASTER energy station ontrol system
The SE²MASTER is the higher-level energy station control system that can be used to centrally and intelligently control up to 100 subsystems such as generators, consumers and storage units as well as network pumps and valves. Using standardized interfaces, the SE²MASTER can be configured equally quickly for both simple and complex energy systems and can be individually expanded at any time.
Transfer of configuration data from the SE²OPTIMIZER system optimizer
SE²OPTIMIZER is an AI-based system optimization tool that automatically determines the flexibility potential of generators, consumers and storage units in energy systems. Taking plant-specific requirements and regulatory specifications into account, their operating mode is controlled in a targeted, price-oriented manner, always with a view to the use of own electricity as well as procurement and feed-in on the electricity exchange.
Sector Modules Plus
This option is always a good choice when more than just heat supply is required. Our control technology can be supplemented with the other sector modules for electricity, gas and water as required.
Operations Management Plus
People remain crucial, but skilled workers are in short supply. This makes it all the more important that everyone in the team is optimally scheduled. The modular extension therefore supports you with on-call schedules and deployment management
Consulting, Design and Planning
You benefit from our decades of experience and expertise. Right from the start. Because we have an insight into both worlds: Planning office and technology company. And that means we see a lot of things that others overlook.
