In this paper the development and application of an urban building energy simulation model is presented to analyse existing 5th generation district heating cooling network (5GDHC) with regard possible sector coupling potentials. It was evaluated, how heat production through large industrial pumps total thermal capacities 5GDHC can provide flexibilities for power applications. a first step multi dynamic set up using environment IDA ICE. A previously developed formed basis implement special...
Increasing demands on indoor comfort in buildings and urgently needed energy efficiency measures require optimised HVAC systems buildings. To achieve this, more extensive accurate input data are required. This is difficult or impossible to accomplish with physical sensors. Virtual sensors, turn, can provide these data; however, current virtual sensors either too slow inaccurate do so. The aim of our research was develop a novel digital-twin workflow providing fast solve this problem. short...
Knowledge about the demand of renewable thermal energy is essential for integrated planning sustainable cities. Planners and decision-makers need high-quality comprehensive data rapid decisive action. However, little to no corresponding information available status quo or possible development scenarios. Thus, new methods urban building modelling simulation with high resolution accuracy are needed. In this paper, we present research conducted on a city district in Graz, Austria. We developed...
This publication demonstrates that flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) are a valid alternative to batteries for storing generated by decentralized rooftop photovoltaic systems. The increasing number of private PV arrays calls out high capacities in order not overload the grid. Despite being current technology choice, chemical still too expensive and have certain disadvantages compared FESS, such as capacity fade over time currently difficult recycling. Within research project at Graz...
In this demonstration paper, we present our interactive virtual reality (VR) experience, which has been designed to facilitate interaction with energy-related information. This experience consists of two main modes: the world in miniature for large-scale and first-person real-world scale visualizations. Additionally, presented approach potential target groups interviews. The results these interviews can help developers future implementation considering requirements each group.
