The Role of District Energy In Future Energy Systems
Distributed Generation & Alternative Energy Journal, 2001This article provides an overview of district energy systems (DES)technologies including cogeneration, CHP, Combined Heat and Power,distribution systems and thermal energy storage. The role of DES as acatalyst for cogeneration and renewable energy, and as a way to reduceair pollution, greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting chemicals, is de-scribed.The ...

District heating in clean energy systems
Nature Reviews Clean TechnologyDistrict heating (DH) can provide commercial and domestic heating, using excess heat that would otherwise be lost. However, existing systems are heavily reliant on fossil fuels, and many fail to fully exploit abundant waste heat sources. Technological development is needed to integrate these DH systems into evolving clean energy systems to support ...

Decarbonizing UBC’s District Energy System : District Energy Heat Pump Technology
2020UBC is working on initiatives to meet its climate action target of achieving carbon neutrality by the year 2050. A major percentage of UBC’s GHG emissions occur in buildings operations, specifically, in space heating and domestic hot water heating to meet the thermal demand of the campus.

Machine learning in district heating system energy optimization
2014 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communication Workshops (PERCOM WORKSHOPS), 2014This paper introduces a work in progress, where we intend to investigate the application of Reinforcement Learning (RL) and online Supervised Learning (SL) to achieve energy optimization in District-Heating (DH) systems. We believe RL is an ideal approach since this task falls under the control-optimization problem where RL has yielded optimal results ...

UBC Academic District Energy System : Thermal Energy Storage
2020This report aims to investigate thermal storage alternatives for the University of British Columbia (UBC) to explore in its journey to carbon neutrality by 2050. The thermal storage system will ideally reduce peak thermal energy requirements from the UBC district heating system during start-ups in the cold months of the year, thereby flattening overall

District heating systems and energy conservation—Part II
Energy, 1994Abstract The potential for energy conservation in space and water heating for five district-heated buildings of three types in south-west Sweden is analyzed. The energy savings for different conservation measures are estimated using a computer program which calculates daily building energy balances.

Integrated systems for cogeneration and district energy
2016Systems that integrate cogeneration and district energy are described. Included are descriptions of district energy (i.e., district heating and cooling), showing how it builds on and combines technologies for district heating and district cooling. Cogeneration-based district energy is defined and many facets of it are discussed, including possible ...
