Framework for dynamic optimization of district heating systems using Optimica Compiler Toolkit

Abstract: Recent studies show that district heating infrastructures should play an important role in future sustainable energy systems. Tools for dynamic optimization are required to increase the efficiency of existing systems and design new ones. This paper presents a novel framework to represent, simplify, simulate and optimize district heating systems. The framework is implemented in Python and is based on Optimica Compiler Toolkit as well as Modelon's Thermal Power Library. The high-level description of optimization… Show more

“…The IPOPT total time and the wall-clock time scale linearly with the number of consumers. A comparison with the results in [10] shows that with the current setting (i) the total IPOPT time is between 5 and 6 times faster, (ii) the IPOPT CPU time is between 3.5 and 6.2 times faster and (iii) the wall-clock time is between 1.7 and 2.2 times faster. However, we must stress that these two studies were not carried out on the same computer nor on computers with identical computing power.…”

“…The number of states as well as the number of algebraic variables scales linearly with the number of consumers. Note that the benchmarks differ slightly from Table I; the reason for this is a better comparability with [10]. OCT supports a block-lower triangular transformation of the DAE to identify algebraic variables that only depend affinely on the corresponding block variables; further variables can be eliminated by applying tearing to handle nonlinear dependencies.…”

“…Limitations of the most of the regulation methods are that they only consider dynamics to a very limited extent. However, the simulation time in [39] is considerably reduced for model predictive control of real-time applications.…”
