Project objective: Providing a bottom-up energy system based on renewable energy, energy communities and flexibility, by researching, re-thinking and combining user / community applications, business models, device and process management, and data and calculation techniques, in this context, in the use and implementation of renewable energy in Denmark the share its experiences with Turkey's renewable energy. In particular, the completion of missing inventory work within the scope of Turkey's energy from waste, the city of Gaziantep was approved pilot area to put forward a full and complete manner of use of renewable energy potential.
Project activities: The HeatReFlex project was officially launched on 01.05.2019. A kick-off meeting was held at Aalborg University in Aalborg, Denmark on 08.05.2019 in order to meet the project partners face-to-face and discuss project action plans.
Project expected results: Optimum solution of green (renewable) and flexible energy usage, heating / cooling needs of cities. Establishing network based business partnerships with public institutions that provide infrastructure services and creating applications that will meet the regional heating / cooling needs especially from waste to energy. To develop a new energy usage map by considering the needs and habits of local people in regional energy use and to realize this on the basis of renewable energy.
