SIDeA: Partner of Excellence in the design and development of supervision systems for district heating plants
The SIDeA company, consolidated by more than three decades of activity, stands out as a partner of excellence for national and international companies and scientific institutions. Its expertise in designing and developing customer-specific SCADA systems is particularly evident in the field of the design and development of supervision systems for district heating plants.

A district heating plant is a crucial system for the efficient distribution of heat to residential, commercial and industrial buildings through a network of thermally insulated pipes. Energy from centralised sources such as thermal power stations, cogeneration plants or renewable sources is transported via a heat transfer fluid (usually hot water or steam) to the users, contributing to space heating and domestic hot water production. SIDeA stands out as a leading partner in the design and implementation of supervision systems for district heating plants. The company manages the entire cycle, from development to delivery, ensuring that all components, such as sensors, actuators, control units, supervision software and user interfaces, work together synergistically to optimally monitor and control the systems.

Design and development of supervision systems for district heating plants: SIDeA's commitment
The Kyoto protocol recognised district heating as an effective tool for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Currently, European and national regulations emphasise the importance of district heating, obliging new buildings located less than one kilometre from a district heating network to equip their systems to use the heat distributed by the network (Directive 2002/91/EC, implemented by Legislative Decree 192/05 as amended).

The versatility of SIDeA's supervision systems is reflected in its ability to design customised solutions for the different needs of the residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Each system is carefully designed to ensure operational efficiency, cost reduction and, in line with new European directives, achieve maximum sustainability.

Advanced Supervision for Efficiency and Control  

SIDeA stands out as a leading partner in the design and implementation of supervision systems for district heating plants. The company manages the entire cycle, from development to delivery, ensuring that all components, such as sensors, actuators, control units, supervision software and user interfaces, work together synergistically to optimally monitor and control the plants.

Sensors and Key Data: The Heart of Efficiency

The sensors implemented by SIDeA play a key role in collecting key plant data, including temperature, pressure, flow and energy consumption. This data is then sent to the control units, where it is processed to activate the actuators, thus regulating heat production and distribution to the consumers.

Intuitive and Functional Supervision Software  

SIDeA's delivery includes advanced supervision software that allows operators to visualise and monitor data in real time. The platform enables the generation of detailed reports, the setting of timely alarms and efficient maintenance management. Intuitive user interfaces give operators clear and intuitive interaction with the district heating plant's supervision system.

Towards an Energy Sustainable Future  

SIDeA, with its many years of experience and sustainability-focused approach, positions itself as a catalyst for a sustainable energy future. The company continues to innovate, integrating the latest technologies and adapting to future challenges, ensuring that supervised district heating plants are at the forefront of efficiency and control. In a world that embraces energy efficiency, SIDeA is the ideal partner for those seeking advanced and sustainable district heating solutions.

SIDeA: design, development and installation of district heating systems
District heating is an effective solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency, as it allows the use of cleaner energy sources and the exploitation of waste heat from industrial processes or renewable sources. 

SIDeA has been actively engaged for over 30 years in educating and engaging the community on the importance of district heating and its benefits in terms of reducing emissions and improving air quality. And this by making available to the community its know-how in the design, development and installation of district heating systems that represent a significant opportunity for the company to contribute to the transition to a low-carbon economy and to improve the energy sustainability of local communities.
