A multiobjective optimization methodology is presented in the context of the optimal heat supply porfolio of Budapest. The techno-economic assessment is complemented by monetizing the environmental impacts and the influence of the technology choices on human health. Among the technology options, also long-distance heating from Paks Nuclear District Heating has been considered and evaluated. The methodology is based on monthly heat demand profiles while distinguishing between three typological groups of buildings and optimizing the set and installed capacity of heating technologies for each of these groups. Our assessment shows that the resulting optimal heat supply portfolio is influenced both by the factors involved in the optimization and the types of buildings. I.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
