District heating systems (DHS) are driven by the heat demands of their consumers, with higher giving a load on production. While human-dependent, they contain diurnal behaviors and weather dependencies. The periods high causing peak loads production, which is operationally costly. This especially true for pumps, solution DHS to include green energy, as cost depends directly needed temperature. ...

According to China’s economic green ecological sustainability development requirement, the energy reform of China is mainly increasing proportion renewable energy, and reducing fossil energy. It will continue force thermal power units, especially coal-fired carry out flexibility transformation upgrading deep peak shaving ability. Due different characteristics it necessary make flexible decision...
