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 …

Considering the residential sector, greenhouse gas emissions can be effectively reduced by
the widespread deployment of distributed renewable energy sources (DRESs) in low …

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 …

The inherently nonlinear, large-scale, and time-varying nature of district heating systems
pose significant challenges from a control perspective. In this paper, we address these …

In this paper, using tools from graph theory we provide verifiable necessary and sufficient
conditions for the existence of a unique hydraulic equilibrium in district heating systems of …

Climate change and geopolitics have led to the conception of plans for reducing
greenhouse gas emissions and improving the sustainability of existing fossil-based energy …

With the global energy reform, the energy storage field has become one of the current
research hotspots. This paper considers the distributed phase change material unit (PCMU) …

Scientific Summary In this paper, we characterize the constraint on district heating flow rates
in the context of the current generation of district heating networks. As discussed in Section …

The decarbonization of the heating sector has the potential for considerably reducing the
amount of anthropogenic emissions contributing to global warming. Modern district heating …
