Decentralized surplus feed-in of solar heat into a District Heating Network (DHN) is here addressed. The heat collected from solar panels located on rooftops of DHN connected buildings may either be used locally for domestic hot water and space heating or fed into the D...

Increasing the building energy efficiency in recent years results in noticeably reduction in their heating demand. Combined with the current trend for utilizing low temperature heat sources, it raises the necessity of introducing a new generation of district heating [DH...

Older IoT “smart sensors” create system alerts from threshold rules on reading values. These simple thresholds are not very flexible to changes in the network. Due to the large number of false positives generated, these alerts are often ignored by network operators. Cur...

Buildings play an important role in urban energy systems. It is no longer enough to simulate building energy use isolated from the supply energy source. Therefore, simulation and optimisation of a district heating networks needs of efficient, fast and realistic models o...

International audience; The design and optimization of district heating networks is a rather complex task; therefore most of the researchers have been focusing on simulating models allowing performing parametric optimization for proposed architectures. Energy integratio...

The purpose of this report is to get an overview of the CO2 reduction possibilities when adopting different renewable energy source, when the case studied building sustains a district heating network connection and when not, and how the renewable energy source flexibili...

Various energy networks such as electricity, natural gas, and district heating can be connected by emerging technologies for efficient application of renewable energy sources. On the other hand, the pressure shortage in the natural gas network and increasing heat loss i...

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Adsorption refrigeration systems are able to work with heat sources of temperature starting with 50 °C. The aim of the article is to determine whether in terms of technical and economic issues adsorption refrigeration equipment ...

District heating networks (DHN) are generally considered as a convenient, economic and environmental-friendly way to supply heat to a large amount of buildings. Some modelling technics are required to consider the dynamic behaviour of district heating network to design ...
