Abstract
INDIGO is a Horizon 2020 EU-funded project carried out by 6 partners from across Europe and 1 from the United Arab Emirates that aims to develop a more efficient, intelligent and economical generation of District Cooling (DC) systems by improving the existing system planning, control and management tools. This will be achieved through two specific objectives. The first one is to widen the use of DC systems and motivate the competitiveness of European DC market by the development of two open-source tools: a planning tool for DC systems with the aim of supporting their optimal design; and a modelling library with thermofluid dynamic models of DC System components which will provide the designers detailed information about their physical behaviour. The second objective is to reduce primary energy consumption. This will be addressed by a ground breaking DC system management strategy focused mainly on energy efficiency maximization and on energy cost minimization.
