Abstract

The transition of existing second-generation district heating networks (DHN) towards lower temperature levels for operation can lead to energy savings and to fewer constraints for the pipes and substations. However, retrofitting measures on the distribution network are often inevitable in order to still guarantee heat demand satisfaction.
