The paper performs an assessment of the decarbonisation potential in utilizing industrial excess heat to meet baseload heating requirements a district network Portugal. source considered was municipal waste-to-energy plant located 5 km from and cooling network. It performed economical comparison between two integration procedures: (i) extending existing pipeline source; (ii) using continuous supply portable thermal storage modules. For characterization tecno-economic assessment, EMB3RS...

With increasing heating and cooling demands, decarbonisation of the sectors is key to achieving a carbon–neutral energy system. Using industrial excess heat in systems helps offset emissions by reducing use fossil fuels. While several studies have analysed temperature availability, cost extending or constructing network techno-economic feasibility, it important consider all aspects together achieve comprehensive design recovery. This study proposes method link an system optimisation tool...

Integration of prosumers in district heating networks brings new challenges to the market and network operation since they can change thermal flow increase competition. Thus, it is mandatory develop structures management mechanisms. In this scope, work proposes implementation a coordination methodology based on peer-to-peer without supervising entity. The goal achieve higher revenue by coping with requirements each agent. Furthermore, model validated through nodal analysis inspired power...

Current developments in heat pumps, supported by innovative business models, are driving several industry sectors to take a proactive role future district heating and cooling networks cities. For instance, supermarkets data centers have been assessing the reuse of waste as an extra source for network, which would offset additional investment pumps. This model requires complete deregulation market allow industrial producers provide network. work proposes application designs networks, inspired...
