Collectopia (EDF) - description
Short Description
In a city of the North of France, the construction of an eco-district aims at promoting the solutions for sustainable and environmental-friendly cities. The system configuration described here is derived from the project proposal. The aim is to implement an autonomous heating system, relying on the diversity of the local heating consumption and production units.

Representation of interfaces between elements of SBDAll available technologies and components of the Collectopia SC can be displayed in a schematic view (Figure 4). It features vertical lines to represent different forms of energy. The boxes represent the different technologies or processes of energy transformation. The arrows going into boxes represent consumed products and the arrows getting out represent products of the transformation.
Commodities are distinguished depending on their natures: energy demands are displayed in light grey, imports in orange, exports in yellow, local production in light blue and renewable energy in green. The boxes cover: storage systems in blue, renewable transformations in green, grid interaction in orange in end-usage in grey.
