Industrial waste heat is a valuable heat source to provide a decarbonized supply to district heating networks. In particular, sewage water treatment plants are a widely-available source of waste water, which can be used as part of low-temperature …
Due to the scarce availability of monitoring data and, when available, possible confidentiality issues, inter-model comparisons are a valuable way to verify the consistency of results in simulations of District Heating Networks (DHN). This paper …
District Heating Networks (DHNs) are part of the solutions towards a low-carbon energy transition for space heating, making an efficient use of renewable or waste energy sources. In early-stage planning, their potential is often evaluated at the …
Aggregated building energy demand is a useful indicator for urban energy planning. It can be used by planners and decision-makers to identify clusters of high energy demand in a given urban area and efficiently plan, for example, district heating …
The design of district heating and cooling (DHC) networks is crucial to increase the pooling of energy supply and demand between individual buildings, and thus to reduce the environmental and financial costs of the energy systems. DHC networks are …
