OptiDEN, delivered in SaaS mode, drives these results. OptiDEN is a platform capable of simulating network growth and a wide range of potential development scenarios, while respecting real thermo-hydraulic conditions. It maximises the net present value and ensures that investments are directed where their impact is greatest.
The tool was initially developed for technical engineering. It quickly became essential for commercial departments too, allowing them to analyse multiple outcomes independently, grounded in authentic technical parameters provided by the hydraulic model of the network.
This has transformed OptiDEN into a shared decision-making environment, where technical data and economic evaluations coexist, supporting integrated and conscious choices.
Today, the tool supports the player in strategic and commercial assessments, facilitating the design of evolutionary and adaptive system roadmaps. Its continuous evolution makes OptiDEN a gold standard for those who want to develop district heating networks capable of combining efficiency, vision and sustainability.
