Optimal utilisation of heat demand in district heating system—A case study

Author

  • Gebremedhin, Alemayehu

Abstract

Global warming is one of the most important issues to handle in the energy sector, due to the high CO2 emissions from fossil fuel based power plants. The district heating sector can play a significant role in reducing the emissions. This, however, depends on how efficiently current and future heat demands are used as a heat sink.
