Abstract

District energy management systems (DEMS) offer the capability to harness the energy potential of districts. Currently, there is a lack of research describing the necessary underlying information systems. An overview of lessons learned is presented from a series of workshops with experts from industry, research, and further roles, predominately from Germany. Seven workshops discussing challenges within digitalization, data requirements, district energy system planning, common elements in district energy systems are conducted, ensuring long‐term operation and transferability, and validation of prior findings. Based on these discussions, insights into topics such as the key data and its requirements, typical distinctions in DEMS, their infrastructure, considerations in the information modeling, as well as challenges in data availability, are offered. These findings are mapped to a data value pipeline, illustrating key resources and tools needed to plan and operate DEMS. As demonstrated in this article, the requirements for DEMS highlight their complexity. Distinct categorizations, such as the ownership or heterogeneity in building and technologies, form the landscape of DEMS. The need for standardized, interoperable systems is often a contrast to the uniqueness of individual systems and their needs. Further adoption of the described concepts necessitates sustainable business models.
