This article addresses the data-based modeling and optimal control of district heating
systems (DHSs). Physical models of such large-scale networked systems are governed by …

This paper addresses the modelling and optimal control of district heating systems
connected to the electrical grid, with the goal of maximizing their operational efficiency and …

Flow and storage volume regulation is essential for the adequate transport and
management of energy resources in district heating systems. In this letter, we propose a …

District heating networks (DHNs) are recognized as pivotal infrastructures to reduce the
carbon footprint of the heating sector. However, their large-scale dimension and the involved …

In this letter, a novel scheme is proposed to identify in finite time the value of an unknown
output parameter for a class of nonlinear dynamical systems. Inspired by the Super-Twisting …

In this paper, we use elements of graph theory and port-Hamiltonian systems to develop a
modular dynamic model describing the hydraulic behavior of 4th generation district heating …

Modern district heating technologies have a great potential to make the energy sector more
flexible and sustainable due to their capabilities to use energy sources of varied nature and …

The urban energy system is greatly dependent on the District Heating System (DHS).
However, many difficulties with regulation and control are caused by its large scale and …

We address the problems of modeling and controlling multi-energy microgrids (meMGs)
composed of an electrical and a thermal system, which are connected via heat pumps (HPs) …

We propose an optimal operation controller for an electro-thermal microgrid. Compared to
existing work, our approach increases flexibility by operating the thermal network with …
