Efficient Physical Modelling of District Heating Networks
ثبت نشده
چکیده
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 orthogonal decomposition is outlined and applied for obtaining a reduced model representation of the hydraulic equations. It is shown that the proposed methods are suitable for predicting flow and temperature values at each consumer with minimal average error and can therefore be used as a conceptual tool for operational optimization of district heating networks.

متن کاملMapping Energy and Exergy Flows of District Heating in Sweden
District heating has been available in Sweden since the 1950s and used more than half of the total energy use in dwelling and no-residential premises in 2013. Energy and exergy efficient conversion and energy resources are key factors to reduce the environmental impact. It is important to understand energy and exergy flows from both the supply and demand sides. The exergy method is also a usefu...

متن کاملThermo - 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...
