Optimization of modular district heating solution based on CHP and RES - Demonstration case of the Municipality of Visoko

Abandoning Peat in a City District Heat System with Wind Power, Heat Pumps, and Heat Storage

“…The DH network is modeled in EnergyPro (EnergyPRO, 2020), the commercial software used in several articles to model complex systems (Johannsen et al, 2021;Kazagic et al, 2019;Østergaard and Andersen, 2021). The optimization routine is to minimize the net heat production cost based on the marginal production costs of units, including fuel costs and taxes, carbon costs, and variable operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.…”

Heat Mapping, a Method for Enhancing the Sustainability of the Smart District Heat Networks

“…The authors of [25,26] developed an algorithm to evaluate design heat demand of a future urban context as a pathway for decision-makers. In references [27,28] using three building case studies, a detailed investigation was presented on building consumption profile modeling.…”

A preface to the special issue of optimization and engineering dedicated to SDEWES 2019 conference

“…These studies examined national, regional and city size power, heating and cooling systems and the utilization of demand response and Power-to-X systems (Mikulčić et al 2019). Consequently, there have been studies that analysed optimal design of cogeneration units in the industrial sector (Gambini and Vellini 2019), coupling of day-ahead electricity market and demand response production (Perković et al 2017), multi-objective optimization of district heating and cooling systems (Dorotić et al 2019a) and in a subsequent study the economic, environmental and exergetic multi-objective optimization of district heating systems (Dorotić et al 2019b), the optimal heat source location of partially heated energy storage process (Dai et al 2020), optimization of modular district heating solution based on combined heat and power production facility and renewable energy resources (Kazagić et al 2019), optimization of the future German energy system for power-to-hydrogen applications (Welder et al 2018), the role of power-to-gas and hydrogen in Italian energy system (Colbertaldo et al 2018).…”
