District Heating Substations Water Temperature Control Based on Soft Computing Technology

− The concept of a durable development in the field of thermal energy supply of the localities implies the use of efficient technical solutions that are capable to ensure the fulfillment of their social needs in conditions of economic efficiency and energetic efficiency. Having as research base the centralized district heating of the Iasi city the research team proposes to resolve the control problem of its district heating substations using soft computing methods. The main goal is in connection with the performance improvement of CET Iasi for the production and centralized distribution of the thermal agent to the consumers, through the fuel consumption reduction, the power efficiency increase and guaranteeing the supply with efficient thermal energy services by means of measures relating to the offer and demand and the reduction of the thermal power production cost. The paper presents the water temperature control of a district heating substation using soft computing methods.
