Street Heating: Modeling for Control
نویسنده
چکیده
The study deals with the possibility of reducing peak power consumption when melting snow/ice on pavements, by including meteorological prediction models. It is shown that if meteorological predictions are reasonably accurate e.g. more than 5 h into the future, the use of expensive fossil/electrical back-up fuel can be reduced in district heating systems based on bio fuel.

noses by using the equivalent axisymmetric body (EAB) theory. This Code has been developed by researchers and the results of it have been validated by the various flight tests results. In the case of non-zero angle of attack or asymmetric surface ablation for each meriodinal plane, the equivalent meriodinal plane (EMP) is created for any meriodinal plane. The combinations of these planes consti...
متن کاملStreet-heat: Controlling road temperature via low enthalpy geothermal energy
In this paper, the authors present an idea to exploit low enthalpy geothermal energy in order to reduce street temperature fluctuations throughout the year and avoid ice formation during the winter season. The key aspect of the proposed system is that it is based on the exploitation of geothermal temperature gradients through materials with high thermal conductivity inserted into the ground, su...
