Abstract

Given the challenges related to climate change and dependency from fossil fuels, modification of the energy systems infrastructure to increase the share of renewable energy is a priority in urban energy planning. The high heating density in cities makes it more economically competitive to deploy district heating (DH), which is essential for large-scale integration of renewable energy sources. Combining georeferenced data with district heating design methods allows to improve the quality of the system design. However, increasing the spatial resolution can lead to intractable model sizes.
