Simulation tool helps with climate-friendly district heating management
District heating networks are becoming increasingly complex due to the integration of renewable energies and the trend towards decentralization. In the "AD Net Heat" project, Fraunhofer researchers simulate heat flows throughout the entire network, predict peak loads, and assist in the planning of new networks. Municipal utilities and heat suppliers are expected to convert their district heating networks to CO2-free operation in the coming years. However, fluctuations in the pipeline network, caused by… Read more »
