Without decarbonizing cities energy and climate objectives cannot be achieved as account for approximately two thirds of consumption emissions. This goal has to facilitated by promoting net-zero/positive buildings districts replicating them, driving towards sustainability goals. Many projects in smart demonstrate novel groundbreaking low-carbon solutions demonstration lighthouse projects. However, the historical, geographic, political, social economic context urban areas vary greatly, it is...
The decarbonization of the heat supply is crucial for German energy transition. Integrating Power-to-Heat technologies like pumps (HPs) into district heating grids (DHGs) can support this process. efficiency HPs be increased through temperature reduction in DHG, though decentralized reheating may required to sufficient end consumers. In order investigate associated trade-off, study evaluates economic, ecological, and technical effects DHGs using software tool nPro. a three-step process...
This study derives the levelized cost of heat (LCOH) for exemplary post-fossil district heating (DH) scenarios. The DH system Leipzig in 2040 under assumption a completely climate-neutral supply is considered. Accordingly, four generation scenarios (GS) are proposed based on different energy carriers that characterized as follows: (1) natural gas with carbon capture and storage, (2) hydrogen, (3) diversified mix biomass, waste solar, (4) electricity. In addition, scenarios' robustness toward...
The concept of positive energy districts (PED) encompasses a range policies and strategies in response to climate protection targets urban areas. Due the limited potential renewable neighborhoods, broader definitions PED are proposed that allow for exchange through grid infrastructure. This study evaluates demand side management combination with virtual power plant (VPP) assess impact on design PED. In particular, optimal customer behavior flexible electricity tariffs is analyzed.
