Novel District Heating Systems: Methods and Simulation Results

Fifth-generation district heating and cooling (5th DHC) systems offer promising approaches to decarbonizing space heating, domestic hot water supply. By using these systems, clustered buildings combined with industrial waste heat can achieve a net-zero energy balance on variety of time scales. Thanks the low exergy approach, are highly efficient. As part Smart Anergy Quarter Baden (SANBA) project, thermal grid simulation tool TEGSim has been further developed used design an ultra-low-temperature (ULTDH) network hydraulic components fitted specific regional characteristics investigated case. Borehole storage (BTES) as seasonal ensures long-term feasibility. The annual discrepancy input provided by output demanded is supplied external low-grade source. This paper presents functionality shows how interpret findings concerning all their interplay, consumption efficiencies.
