Fabrizio Detassis has happily completed his doctoral thesis on Machine Learning and Constrained Optimization. In the context of industrial problems, the application of constrained optimization is one of the most powerful, explored and exploited tools for addressing prescriptive tasks. The…

Optit’s expertise in advanced energy analytics was selected by Con Edison (one of the largest utility in the United States) to analyze New York’s district energy and steam system. Using our proprietary algorithms, we will analyze the daily flows to…

Save the date: next DHC+ webinar on “Upgrading heat distribution and piping technologies” will take place on June 4th at 2 pm. An essential part of DH systems is the heat distribution network, which connects heat production with final users….

The RETROFEED project, of which Optit is a partner, is aimed at enabling the optimization of a feedstock that is increasingly variable, bio-based, and circular in energy-intensive process industries through the retrofitting of key equipment and the implementation of an…

It would be nice if the projections of CMIP6 (the model used to predict climate change effects) were wrong but, thanks also to our experience with models and data, we recognize that the margin of error is very thin. The…

AGFW, the German association for district heating, promotes a series of online events dedicated to the study of technical topics to its members. The last of these events “Software and tools for district heating applications #09” takes place online on…

Optit’s project on optimising maintenance planning for district heating networks in Brescia (A2A) awarded at the Nottingham Symposium of the International Energy Agency. We had already reported on our presence at the 17th IEA Symposium, Technology Collaboration Programme on District…

It was a pleasure to participate and contribute to the “Virtual District Heating Visit to Denmark” held on December 2nd to present to a wide range of Italian Utilities and AIRU members the “Danish way” to District Heating & Cooling….

Digital innovation is revolutionizing the energy sector and emerges as a crucial key in the transition towards a sustainable future. Con Edison, the historic multi-utility company in New York, has undertaken an ambitious path to achieve the goals set by…

February 11th marks the International Day of Women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). Science and gender equality are two development goals within the Agenda 2030 for sustainability. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization dedicates February 11th each…

Initiating project H2020 for the development of an integrated planning instrument for multi-energy systems PLAMES is a project financed by the European Union and directed by Rheinisch-Westfaelische Technische Hochschule Aachen (Germany) in partnership with the University of Bologna, OPTIT and…

Optit partner of Retrofeed, the UE project for the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industrial sectors November 2019 marks the official launch of RETROFEED, the European project coordinated by the Centre of Research for Energy Resources and consumption (Zaragoza, Spain), in which…

Maria Francesca Colombo, our HR Manager, participated in the event organized by ART-ER, International Talents Emilia-Romagna, titled “Emilia-Romagna for international talents: From the it-ER program to the new regional law 2/2023,” held at the Golinelli Foundation. The day delved into…

Three days, from June 24th to June 26th, of discussions about policies, regulatory framework and solution for future energy infrastructures. The EU objective towards 2050 is to have a carbon neutral economy. This can be accomplished by investing heavily on…
