Abstract

The highly varying character of district heating (DH) demand results in low capacity utilization of the DH plants, as well as increased use of fossil fuels during peak demand. The aim of this study is to present an overview and a comprehensive classification of measures intended to manage these load variations. A systematic literature review was conducted based on previously defined search strings as well as inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two scientific databases were used as data sources. Based on 96 detected publications, the measures were categorized as (1) complementing DH production in heat-only boilers (HOBs), or geothermal or booster heat pumps (HPs) (usually controlled by the DH company), (2) thermal energy (TE) storage in storage units or in the network (controlled by the company), and (3) demand side measures, which can be strategic demand increase, direct demand response (DR), or indirect DR. While the company has control over direct DR (e.g., thermal storage in the thermal mass of the buildings), indirect DR is based on communication between the customer and the company, where the customer has complete control. The multi-disciplinary nature of this topic requires an interdisciplinary approach.
