    This project studies the dynamic response characteristic of the thermal energy storage (TES) coupled with the district heating network (DHN) and the innovative active control technology for the indoor thermal comfort with efficient load matching. Therefore, this study will develop a more accurate spatiotemporal dynamic simulation model for the TES-DHN emphasizing the thermal inertia and time-delay properties. The research will also develop an active control technology and optimization tool from the viewpoint of system design and operation to match the heat supply and demand more accurately. Moreover, reasonable experimental tests and case studies will also be designed and implemented to validate the developed methods and to disseminate research outcomes. Overall, this project will contribute new scientific findings and efficient engineering tools for active load matching in order to further improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions while improving the indoor thermal comfort.

    SusHydro project aims to create interdisciplinary guidelines for sustainable governance of the existing hydropower system in Finland. It integrates the ecological, economic, and social pillars of sustainability in its approach. The project is based on the mitigation hierarchy and adaptive governance theory. We argue that ecological, economical and societal circumstances surrounding hydropower have changed substantially over the recent decades, but its governance has largely remained the same due to, for example, the strong permanence of hydropower permits and inadequate knowledge on river ecosystems. Our research provides footsteps for regoverning the industry towards sustainable transformation. By conducting and combining state-of-the art legal and economic research and new methods for studying river ecology this project is uniquely positioned to resolve the conflict between the current governance of hydropower and sustainability.
