THERMODYNAMIC-BASED METHOD FOR SUPPORTING DESIGN AND OPERATION OF THERMAL GRIDS IN PRESENCE OF DISTRIBUTED ENERGY PRODUCERS

Thermodynamic-based method for supporting design and operation of thermal grids in presence of distributed energy producers

District heating networks are well-established technologies to efficiently cover the thermal demand of buildings.Recent research has been devoting large efforts to improve the design and management of these systems for integrating low-temperature heat coming from distributed sources such as industrial processes and renewable energy plants.Passing f
