ASTRA was presented through an oral presentation at the 15th IEA Heat Pump Conference (HPC 2026), held from 26-29 May 2026 in Vienna.
The paper, “A Carnot-Based Pre-Screening Method to Support High-Temperature Heat Pump Integration in Industries”, introduces a methodology combining pinch analysis, thermodynamic screening, and genetic algorithms to rapidly identify promising industrial heat pump integration strategies.
HPC 2026 gathered more than 800 participants from industry, research, and policy, providing valuable opportunities for scientific exchange and industrial networking.
