1 Summary

This deliverable provides a draft plan for disseminating the use of knowledge. It comprises

of the dissemination and exploitation strategy. These two approaches will result respectively

in increasing the awareness of the project and providing individual business strategies

for putting innovative technologies for district heating and cooling into the market.

By creating dissemination plan, the document lists done and planned dissemination activities

necessary to reach the target groups through appropriate channels. The dissemination plan

encompasses making promotional materials such as (InDeal logo, press-releases and scientific

publications, promotional videos, etc.) participating in relevant events and targeted

publications.

Dissemination actions have huge impact on success of the project. InDeal provides innovative

monitoring system for district heating and cooling plants, aiming at end-user satisfaction and

environmental savings. Such technology is not well-known to the market that is why

it is needed to be used promoted through channels like Internet, print media, events

or networking to reach target groups, give them information about our project and convince

them of the superiority of InDeal system over existing technology.

The exploitation plan will provide information for all consortium partners about our strategy

for project’s results commercialization. The market overview shows the possibilities

and constraints connected with DHC sector as well as needs and requirements of potential

customer. To obtain an effective exploitation of the InDeal results, the Value Proposition

Canvas and Business Model Canvas were created supporting project partners’ individual

strategy developed in Technology Transfer Plan.

Monitoring and update of state of project results have a significant impact on their success

in the market of district heating and cooling. Thanks to the exploitation plan we know

our solutions value, what we can offer to customers and how to bring about the expected

commercialization result of InDeal solutions.

2 Introduction

2.1 Purpose and target groups

The goal of this report is to specify the preliminary objectives for dissemination actions and

exploitation strategies, taking into account target groups and expected foreground share of each

InDeal partner. The document provides information of dual use – the individual approach

for each project partner as well as a preliminary strategies for the success on dissemination and

exploitation of the whole project. Increasing the acknowledgement of the project topics and

results is one of the activities necessary to maximize the project’s impact. Creating

the dissemination plan structures all of the promotional activities and facilitates contribution

of all consortium partners in reaching the widest possible audience. To strengthen the project

impact, the exploitation plan establishes individual business strategies in terms of putting

project results into the market. This effort includes recognition of project Key Exploitable

Results and creating Technology Transfer Plan closely linked to intellectual property issues

of each partner.

As a preliminary plan, the Draft PUDK will be followed by a more comprehensive document

of Deliverable 7.5 Final PUDK, which extends and evaluates the dissemination and

exploitation activities for the whole project duration.

There are two target groups for this report:

• Project partners - this document will work for each project partner as a guide

for undertaking the dissemination activities and developing individual business

strategies in terms of exploitation of project results.

• Stakeholders – the information included in this document will increase the awareness

of the target groups in terms of the project results by providing an overview

of dissemination activities undertaken in the project.

2.2 Contributions of Partners

In order to collect contribution about dissemination actions and possible exploitation strategies,

the following templates were made and send to all project partners:

• “Technology Transfer Plan” (Excel & Word file) – possible individual exploitation

strategies,

• “Dissemination activities” (Excel file) – dissemination purpose and activity,

• “Dissemination report” (Word file) – dissemination activity,

• “Key Exploitable Results” (Word file) – exploitation purpose,


9

InDeal / D7.3

• “Value Proposition Canvas & Business Model Canvas” (PowerPoint file) – exploitation

purpose.

The collected data were used by IZNAB and ADItech as an input for this document.

2.3 Baseline

The baseline for this report is the description of dissemination and exploitation strategies in the

“InDeal” project proposal. It compares a wide range of promotional activities and individual

business approach. The range of necessary actions is described in the project scope and meets

the needs of reaching the target groups to achieve a satisfying impact of the project. The PUDK

uses existing involvement of each partner in networks, projects and industry sectors

to disseminate and exploit the foreground generated in the project.

2.4 Relation to other activities

Activities in this task are dependent on other tasks of the project in the following work

packages:

WP 1 – System specification and design

WP 2 – Development of Piping and Heat Losses Improvements

WP 3 – Development of Monitoring Tools

WP 4 – Development of Prediction Tools

WP 5 – Development of Decision Support System and applications

WP 6 – Integration, Demonstration and Validation

WP 7 – Dissemination, Exploitation & Training

Data collected and results coming from the Work Packages mentioned above were used

for creation of dissemination and exploitation strategies. The outputs will be presented

to the target groups using the dissemination channels. Also the Key Exploitable Results were

recognized among those WPs as a baseline for preliminary business plan and Technology

Transfer Plan, which creates an individual exploitation strategy of each project partner.

4.3.3 Print media

Press-releases

Another tool for dissemination is press-release, where partners’ contribution is relevant.

The press-release, unlike scientific publication, allows to reach wider audiences, by briefly

informing about the technology advances. In Table 8 are shown released notices by partners

about InDeal project. As it can be noticed, ENERGETIKA is planning to public information

every 3 months.

The main market for InDeal solution is of District Heating and Cooling, however each

of the results is independent from each other, meaning that other markets are available. Such

solution allows to decrease the risk of the project dependency on one of the developed

equipment. For reaching the main market some of the results have to be merged with others

to create key exploitable results presented in Table 14 which will be products for DHC market.


35

InDeal / D7.3

For example results number 2, 3 and 4 are independent products. But result number 1 have

to be combined with results number 15 and 16 for creating InDeal Decision Support System

platform. Only combination of results 1, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16 will be completed

Automated Decision Support System. Result number 5 will be ready product if it comprises

results number 3 and 8. In this forms these results create the products for the main DHC market.

Relations between all 18 results was defined in D7.6 IPR Registry. [5]

The barrier for reaching the expected market readiness can be that some of mentioned earlier

results could not be integrated to create key exploitable results, as products for InDeal project’s

main market, which is DHC market. At current, the final platform is being integrated and is

about to be tested in real case studies. One of the technical barriers of tool implementation

could be of data processing. The tool itself will work, however the risk is of on-time data

download to the server in case of big stream. That is why the testing period is important to

validate the tool. The other barrier could be of global utility of the tool, as after finalization it

could be limited to medium or even small – scale plants. The barrier for InDeal solution can

also be level of its replicability. It is important to ensure that the solution has the ability to be

replicable under conditions different from those in the two real case study plants.

Two among the 18 results have low risk level, what means they should be now ready

for entrance to markets. Most of the results have medium risk level, but there are a few results

with declared high risk. For them is the possibility that they will reach maximal TRL = 4, what


36

InDeal / D7.3

means they will not reach the market. Also they can be used for future researches. But they still

have to be monitored during the project. The plan of meetings for discussion about integration

of tools and decreasing their risk level will be implemented.

5.2 Market overview

The goal of InDeal project is to develop more efficient systems designed for providing heating

and cooling to districts. That is why the main market for InDeal solution is distribution

of energy, more precisely district heating and cooling systems.

In earlier market research [4] it was found that residential sector consumes 45% of primary

energy for heating and cooling, while industrial sector consumes around 37% of primary

energy and tertiary contributes to only of 18%. Nonetheless, it is not the case when analyzing

single countries, as for example, countries like Sweden, Spain, Finland, Portugal, Slovakia and

Austria. Still, due to high market diversification on European level, more precise data are

needed.

5.2.1 District heating

In Figure 6. it is shown the European district heating system density, based on data from 2013.

The highest density network is found to be central-eastern area of the EU, with around

60 million of the EU citizens connected to district heating system. Overall share of district

heating is 9% from total energy sources available at the market. For others sectors

such as services it is 10% and 8% in case of industry. Considering the network distribution,

around 45% is for residential purposes, while the rest is for industrial and tertiary sector. [4]

Figure 6. District heating systems in the EU [4]


37

InDeal / D7.3

5.2.2 District cooling

The European market growth of district cooling system is shown in Figure 7. In Sweden district

cooling began in 1990s. Since then energy from district cooling systems has raised from

0.004 PJ/year to 3 PJ/year in 2009, compared to Germany or Italy where this energy has grown

for 10 years about 0.2-0.5 PJ/year. Cooling market is still developing in Europe, and its main

energy source is of electricity. It is currently used in a must cases, mainly to satisfy cooling

demand in summer time period and for food processing. It is found that cooling market is

growing year by year, due to higher comfort standards in residential sector, and problems with

food storage. Therefore, cheaper and more efficient ways of cooling are sought in the market.

The district cooling can occur to be the most efficient way of distribution, as for example after

implementation district cooling system in Paris use of primary energy was reduced to 50%. [4]

Figure 7. District cooling systems’ growth in Europe and Japan [4]

5.2.3 Manufacturers

Other interesting market for InDeal solution is of manufactures of control and piping

components for DHC systems. Such manufacturers are important from perspective of selling

the developed technology, or collaboration for further testing. That is why they are in interest

to the project.

On the European market there are around 10 big manufacturers providing products, processes

or services in the field of heating and cooling on the district level. Danfoss, Logstor, Vaxve

and Secespol are producers of basic parts of the DHC network like piping (Logstor), substations

(Danfoss) and valves (Danfoss, Vaxve) or heat exchangers (Danfoss, Secespol). Kamstrup and


38

InDeal / D7.3

Itron are companies active in the global market providing systems of measuring devices and

communication for heating and cooling installations. There are also manufacturers providing

control systems and equipment for DHC systems like Samson, Siemens, Esbe, Leanheat,

Essco Controls and Vaxve.

All these manufacturers provide their services and products for users of DHC systems

in residential, industrial and tertiary sectors. Some of these companies have significant

experience (25-30 years) in the field of heating and cooling and some are specialized in DHC.

They are present on global market with the highest density in Europe. Only Itron

is an American manufacturer but also has very big market in Europe.

5.2.4 Market size on European level

In

Table 16 it is presented analysis of market structure of district heating and cooling network in

different European countries, covering all of the climatic zones. The considered countries, are

accordingly to partner’s origin.

Beside this it is found that in Europe around 6 000 district heating systems are in operation.

Nowadays, major European Union cities with district heating systems are Berlin, Bucharest,

Copenhagen, Hamburg, Helsinki, Milan, Paris, Prague, Sofia, Stockholm, Warsaw and Vienna.

In case of district cooling systems, their total amount is unknow, however it is estimated that

in the EU is about 150 working DC systems, mostly in countries like Sweden, France, Germany

and Italy. [2]

Therefore, mostly central and northern part of Europe is having a significant network of District

Heating and Cooling. That is why the demo-cases will reflect the validation in the most

interesting DHC markets, and will constitute the base of financial projection of implementation

of InDeal solution.

The main problem with today’s DHC network is that there are still big heat losses even in case

of modern systems, which can be in range 5% to even 10%. [6] Systems are often old

(e.g. ENERGETIKA’s network in Vransko is 13 years old, SNCU’s the oldest part of system

is from 1970s) and installed equipment can cause networks malfunction. In market research

[4] it was found that in partners’ origin countries DHC networks requiring modernisation. Also

the piping systems are monitored but it is not always enough to prevent leaks of water occurring

in DHC networks. Today’s heating network are limited by length which can be 40 km

the longest due to huge heat loses on the longer distance. In case of modernization of existing

systems using new insulation materials or new piping the systems could be expanded and

supply bigger areas.

Even though the TRL of piping system will not reach the validation in operational environment

it is a significant approach in terms of energy efficiency. On the other hand, for future

development of Smart Cities concept it is important to provide the most efficient solution, while

developing new network.

5.3 Preliminary Business Plan

5.3.1 Value Proposition

The value proposition of InDeal solutions is created based on inputs provided from partners

(Appendix II). Moreover accordingly to D7.6 the project results were segmented into four

different sections:

• AI meters,

• Architecture,

• Central Monitoring and Control Platform,

• Piping.

The new AI meters with low energy profile will be developed. They provide intelligent and

more perspicuous interface. Better monitoring of the DHC system and its users energy

consumption and communication with Control Platform will allow the system to adapt

for current energy demand and needs of the consumers what will ensure more efficiency for

the DHC system and lower bills for consumers.

The new architecture created by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) system

will ensure lower energy and lower cost of system operation and communication between

monitor equipment and the whole platform. The newest thing is that this architecture

in combination with AI meters and the new web-platform will give possibility for consumers

to view the system and learn about their own energy consumption. It will also increase users’

awareness about the system operation and energy efficiency.

For control and monitoring of DHC system’s parameters, the new Central Monitoring and

Control Platform will be responsible. System will be based on Artificial Neural Network

(ANN) model with tools allowing forecasting weather conditions and prediction of energy

demand. Combination with Decision Support System (DSS) provides new intelligent and more

efficient system with possibility to earlier know how much energy has to be produced and

operate the whole system for that purpose. There were no system earlier combined with weather

prediction tool. Current DHC systems are manually regulated what also acted with delay.

The implementation of DSS will allow to control the system by itself in the way based

on meeting energy demand, energy efficiency and low cost.

The new piping system will be easier to install compared to current solutions in DHCS. It will

give a possibility for better monitoring of the distribution by the piping system integration with

infrastructure, which will be consist of sensors and monitoring tools and in combination with

new insulation materials will lower losses of heat during distribution.

5.3.2 Business Model

Partners provided inputs for Business Model for InDeal results. It is shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9. Business Model


44

InDeal / D7.3

Main target of business model is to organize the market implementation and undertake

necessary actions for deployment of InDeal solution. It presents how consortium can create

a value and take advantage of it in order to enter the market. Business Model is created

to provide knowledge on business operations. The structure defines the relation between

customers and creators of results, as well as methods of implementation. The left side of canvas

presents means to create a value that is proposed by InDeal solution, while the right side

identifies the streams of deployment. The bottom part is related to defining the cash flows,

which will be presented in the final stage of the project.

From the model it is known that beside consortium partners, other key partners for InDeal

project are manufacturers and exploiting companies that is why the Technology Transfer Plan

is essential for InDeal project. The consortium’s key resources are experience, knowledge and

intellectual property of all partners, but also funds from European Commission and other

sources. At this moment the sources are distributed properly, the IP protection plan

is developed. That is why, after the end of the project all the actions undertaken in this segment

will be evaluated in terms of created value of all results.

The channels and methods that are used to build the relation with customers are already defined

in section 4 of the document. Therefore, in the end of the project it will be taken under

evaluation in order to check the efficiency of done actions.

5.3.3 Business Plan findings

Based on the Business Model Canvas following results were concluded:

• For whole consortium key partners are manufacturers, which will use our solution.

• Our key resources are experience, knowledge, but also the EU funds. We have to

skilfully use it to bring the planned results with respect to intellectual properties.

• The main values of InDeal project are improvement in performance, costs and

management in district heating and cooling. Better energy management results cost,

energy and emission savings.

• To reach our customers we have to focus on dissemination and exploitation activities

and in this highlighting of customers’ benefits is necessary. One way is promoting

energy efficiency of our system. It should be realised by social network and local news.

Every partner should do it in their own country.

• Our customers are recognized as owners of biomass district heating systems, companies

offering pipes production and pipelines building.


45

InDeal / D7.3

• The main costs connected to equipment materials, manufacturing and market launch.

However, the financial part is not fully defined yet and it will be developed during the

project.

5.4 Technology Transfer Plan

This Transfer Plan applies a methodology designed by ADItech that allows to align all the parts

along the value chain. In this Section 5.4 of the PUDK, it is described the matchmaking

between:

RESULTS OF THE PROJECT (D 7.6) 1 vs. INDUSTRIAL INTERESTS

The objective of this task is look for scenarios in which both knowledge available in the project

and the potential end users of these results could converge. In those cases, InDeal project will

find exploitation opportunities and could be able to set out a plan to have an effective transfer.

These scenarios can be found both internally to the consortium (consortium partners as end

users) and externally to the consortium looking for new opportunities with other companies,

complementary industrial sectors…

On the other hand, additional information from the Industrial Partners of the InDeal

Consortium has been obtained during the project.

ADItech and CEMITEC as responsible partners of this Task, asked industrial partners

of the project for their inputs to the Table 17. In this DRAFT version of the PUDK, information

that has been available is from: NET, IZNAB and SNCU (SERM). Information from PROMAR

and ENERGETIKA is expected to be included in the final version of this document.

In terms of industrial interests, some measurable aspects have been chosen in order to know:

what is required by the companies to be ready to exploit the knowledge that the Consortium

has got.

As you can see in the Table 17 these aspects are:

1 The Deliverable 7.6 of this project contents information about the Results of the Project. They

have been identified 18 Results and “information with respect to the nature of the Result,

its relation to the work structure and relevant Background IP and knowledge. The second part

of the template contains information with respect to the Results Ownership and IPR strategy.

Also, information is provided with respect and to the current and the expected Technology

Readiness Level, in order to provide a starting point for the exploitation plans.”


46

InDeal / D7.3

• Aim of the technology transfer e.g. to be implemented in an already existing

product, as a new product of my company, as a new material to be used in one of my

isolated devices…

• Sector(s) of application e.g. to be applied just in this industrial sector

of DHC, to be used in any other industrial sector in which isolation could be applied,

all sectors…

• "Desired Time to Market" e.g. my company needs less than 2 years after the

end of the project, we need a product in TRL 7 at minimum, TRL 5 and up to 3 years…

• Exclusivity e.g. my company would be interested in sharing

the commercial rights with other companies in other industrial sectors, we want totally

exclusive rights for this material…

6 Conclusions

The efficient dissemination plan has been developed in this Deliverable. It is one of the key

parameter for the project’s success and commercialization its results. Partners will actively

participate in events, are already involved in networking. Moreover, other tools will be used

in order to reach relevant groups, such as print media and InDeal website. The summary of final

results of dissemination activities will be presented in D7.5 Final PUDK.

To be recognised globally, the additional effort is done in maintaining LinkedIn and Twitter

groups. In addition, first promo video was already released, which is streamed through

YouTube channel. This video will be updated at the end of the project, presenting final results.

The dissemination plan is one of the strategies of market deployment, the other is of recognition

of added value of created results. That is why the coherent exploitation plan was developed,

where the preliminary key exploitable results was created. Partners declared their results

market readiness level and if there are any risks related with these results. The awareness of risk

in obtaining final achievements was recognised, hence partners are already prepared to lower

the risk level. That is why:

• The final results can be independent from one another

• The alternative markets, such as HVAC, are applicable for majority of the results

• The added value is evaluated in terms of further research

Similar as in case of dissemination, exploitation plan will be monitored and updated

in D7.5 Final PUDK, which will be released in M33.
