GEOINFORMATION ASPECTS OF DISTRICT HEATING MODERNIZATION

District Heating in Buildings

This paper is published by Euroheat & Power. Our aim is to inform about district heating and cooling as efficient and environmentally benign energy solutions that make use of resources that otherwise would be wasted, delivering reliable and comfortable heating and cooling in return.

Key aspects of coronal heating

We highlight 10 key aspects of coronal heating that must be understood before we can consider the problem to be solved. (1) All coronal heating is impulsive. (2) The details of coronal heating matter. (3) The corona is filled with elemental magnetic stands. (4) The corona is densely populated with current sheets. (5) The strands must reconnect to prevent an infinite build-up of stress. (6) Nano...

Numerical modelling of district heating networks

Efficient Physical Modelling of District Heating Networks

A mathematical physical model for dynamic simulation of flow and temperature in district heating networks (DHN) is proposed. The network structure is described by means of a graph-theoretical approach where the network elements are pipe sections, consumers and heat sources. The governing equations for hydraulic flows and heat distribution through pipe networks are presented. In addition, proper...

Thermo - hydraulic simulation of district heating networks

Current developments of the European energy markets are influencing the operation strategy of heat suppliers. Especially providers of district heating systems fed by conventional heat production (i.e. CHP) have to react with appropriate measures to these changes. The integration of thermal storages, decentralization of the heat production, changing heating technologies or adjusting the temperat...
