Heat Consumption Pattern Analysis by the Component Ratio of District Heating Users

Predicting the Heat Consumption in District Heating Systems using Meteorological Forecasts

Special thanks to Henrik R. Hansen, Vestegnens Kraftvarmeselskab I/S for also providing us with information about the district heating system and for fruitful discussions and to Torben S. Nielsen at our department for permission to use his S-PLUS library for adaptive estimation. We would also like to thankA. for fruitful discussions during the startup phase of the project. i ii Summary Methods ...

Optimization of Heat Exchangers for Geothermal District Heating

This paper analyzes the optimal configuration and operating parameters of a heat exchanger in a geothermal district heating system. An optimization algorithm is presented for the nonlinear constrained problem to maximize the annual net profit for a system of counter-flow heat exchangers. Several parameters that affect the net profit are examined, including the mass flow rates of working fluids ...

Geospatial Analysis of the Building Heat Demand and Distribution Losses in a District Heating Network

The district heating (DH) demand of various systems has been simulated in several studies. Most studies focus on the temporal aspects rather than the spatial component. In this study, the DH demand for a medium-sized DH network in a city in southern Germany is simulated and analyzed in a spatially explicit approach. Initially, buildings are geo-located and attributes obtained from various sourc...
