DHTrain is a development and education project, which
focuses on improving energy efficiency and increasing the use of local
bioenergy resources in Karelia. Our main objective is to increase know-how and
to launch a bioenergy training center.
Among the main pledges to come to life during our
project are a new bioenergy study programme and a virtual learning environment.
The Pryazha’s district heating plant and the network will be part of our
virtual learning environment, which is created on the Planora Inc.’s Iisi-Netti
system. All in all, one pre-training and four actual trainings will be held in
Oulu and Petrozavodsk to pilot the study programme and the developed system.
The first DHTrain project trip took place in
Petrozavodsk on 12–14 March, 2013. We met our Russian partner, OAO Petrozavodsk
Communal Systems, and held a successful project meeting with all the project
partners. The main objectives of our trip were to deepen the partnership,
discuss about the realization of the project and visit the Pryazha’s district
heating plant.
Below you will find some photos from our first project
trip:

For the last six months all the project partners have
focused on the project work. Planora Inc. has developed their Iisi-Netti system
to meet the Russian requirements. Petrozavodsk Communal Systems has searched
for plant and network information. At Oulu University of Applied Sciences we
have developed parts of the bioenergy study programme, and teachers have
started to plan material for the trainings. The research on the possibility to
use Geographic Information Systems in Russia to survey the local bioenergy
resources has also started. The result of this will be published later on our
web site (www.oamk.fi/hankkeet/dhtrain).
During August we have established a DHTrain project
office in Pryazha. Pre-training for the four office employees will be held in
the beginning of October in Oulu. The main objective of the pre-training is to
train the project office employees to use the Iisi-Netti system and the latest
design software. The first bioenergy pilot training will be held in Oulu on
9–13 December, 2013. Ten Karelia’s energy company representatives are expected
in Oulu to learn more about energy consumption, energy efficiency, energy
technology, bioenergy and hear about the latest innovations.
