Environmental assessment of central solar heating plants with seasonal storage located in Spain

Energy Storage in Urban Areas: The Role of Energy Storage Facilities, a Review

“…The entire system is supported by natural gas. Cases in Spain [99] satisfy 26.65% of heat demand. That study suggests that the heat energy seasonal storage is the most polluting part of equipment, and that care should be taken regarding its design and operation.…”

System modelling and optimization of a low temperature local hybrid energy system based on solar energy for a residential district

“…Compared with a traditional centralized system, the proposed algorithm can reduce the CO 2 emissions on a campus by up to 87%, with an improvement on 72% reduction achieved with the current operation strategy. Raluy et al [28] applied the life cycle assessment method in estimating the environmental burden through the whole life cycle of the central solar heating plants with the seasonal storage system. Maximov et al [29] performed a multi-objective optimization of a solar heating system with seasonal thermal storage based on costs and greenhouse gas emissions as the objectives.…”

Design and Implementation of an Integrated Central Heating Information Monitoring System for Smart Cities

“…In the process of extensive economic development, the energy consumption in China has been increasing year by year, with the total energy consumption being much higher than the world average, and the case is the same with heat consumption [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Due to the geographical dispersion of urban heat supply, the central heating system is required to monitor and analyze parameters such as thermal energy, heating power and heat supplied, etc., to further realize the linkage between heat dispatching and heat exchange stations [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Establishing and optimizing an integrated central heating information monitoring and energy conservation system is not only conducive to reducing resource waste, but also helpful to the identification and solving of the instability and safety problems in the heating process, and thus it has certain research value.…”
