The study in hand introduces the concept of dynamically distributed district heating. The
concept addresses the challenges related to transforming an existing 3rd generation district …

This paper presents the findings and conclusions from an inventory of network
configurations implemented in several early projects concerning low-temperature district …

As heating requirements continue to evolve and heating technology advances, radiators and
radiant floor heating devices, which require different supply-water temperatures, have …

Abstract The campus of Tallinn University of Technology consists of 26 buildings with a total
annual heat demand of approximately 20 GWh. A local natural gas-fired boiler provides …

New control strategies for thermal systems and innovative district heating and cooling grids
can help to decarbonize the thermal sector. Before implementing these new concepts, they …

The decarbonization of the district heating (DH) sector is receiving attention worldwide.
Solar energy and heat pump technologies are widely considered in existing and new DH …

The integration of renewable energy sources into existing district heating systems is
imperative for the decarbonization of the global energy system. This transition is particularly …

Abstract Space heating demand of buildings is a significant component of global energy
consumption. Lowering the operating temperatures can increase the overall energetic and …

A fundamental precondition for the operation of district heating networks (DHNs) is a stable
hydraulic behavior. However, the ongoing transition toward a sustainable heat supply …

This work concerns reduction of the peak flow rate of a district heating grid, a key system
property which is bounded by pipe dimensions and pumping capacity. The peak flow rate …
