District Heating and Cooling Systems
, 2021 Decarbonisation of the energy sector is a crucial ambition towards meeting net-zero targets and achieving climate change mitigation. Heating and cooling accounts for over a third of UK greenhouse emissions and, thus, decarbonisation of this sector has attracted significant attention from a range of stakeholders, including energy system operators ...

Optimising the Operation of a District Heating System
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2013 A system with several actors will increase the possibilities for collaboration and therefore, in many cases also increase the possibilities to affect the operation with economic and environmental benefits. In this paper a district heating system is studied with purpose to create economic and environmental operation guidelines in favour of the involved ...
