R-CUA operates nine heating and cooling networks totaling 48 km in Alsace, delivering heat equivalent to 30,000 households. The utility replaced legacy monitoring tools with GENESIS64 HMI/SCADA, MobileHMI, and Hyper Historian to integrate over 2,000 BACnet tags from boiler plants and substations. The system enables browser and mobile access, performance trending, and optimization of renewable biomass and geothermal assets while supporting Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL 2012 environments.

Key takeaways

GENESIS64 SCADA integrated 2,000+ BACnet tags across 8 km fiber network linking Eco2 Wacken plant and 16 delivery points.

MobileHMI and web clients replaced legacy HMI, providing real-time visibility on PCs and mobile devices within one week of deployment.

Hyper Historian captured high-speed data for performance trending and daily network operation monitoring.

Biomass boilers (5.2 MW total) plus gas boilers (12 MW) deliver 30 GWh/year at 87 percent renewable share, cutting 7,000 tons CO2 annually.

System supports future network expansion by connecting and supervising additional boilers under existing Windows/SQL infrastructure.
