Thermo - hydraulic simulation of district heating networks
نویسنده
چکیده
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 temperature of district heating networks make it necessary to be able to simulate and analyse existing and future designs of district heating systems. Therefore a simulating tool for flow networks was developed in Matlab®.

Efficient Physical Modelling of District Heating Networks
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...

At the National Institute of Metrological Research (INRiM), the first European thermo-hydraulic simulator (mock-up) for testing both traditional and innovative thermal energy measurement devices and heat cost allocators has been recently built up, in the context of the EU Seventh Framework Programme FP7-SME-2012. The INRiM mock-up is an automatically reconfigurable thermo-hydraulic circuit equi...
متن کاملAnalysis of Hydraulic and Heat Relations in Heat Networks; Calculation in Real Locality
The paper deals with heat networks, which are parts of district heating systems. There was created a complex computational program as a tool for calculation of pressure, flow and temperature ratios in particular parts of the defined heat network. The article is mainly focused on solution of hydraulic and heat relations in real locality.
متن کاملThe coupled thermal-hydraulic-mechanical behaviour of a large-scale in situ heating experiment
The thermo-hydraulic-mechanical behaviour of a large in situ heating test, the Buffer/Container Experiment (BCE), carried out at Atomic Energy of Canada’s underground research laboratory, is considered. The work can be seen as an extension of the authors’ previous research, investigating the behaviour of a large-scale test, the socalled ‘isothermal test’, to now include heating effects. Suggest...
متن کاملAn optimization approach for district heating strategic network design
District heating systems provide the heat generated in a centralized location to a set of users for their residential and commercial heating requirements. Heat distribution is generally obtained by using hot water or steam flowing through a closed network of insulated pipes and heat exchange stations at the users’ locations. The use of optimization techniques for the strategic design of such ne...
