Abstract

In this paper the development and application of an urban building energy simulation model is presented to analyse an existing 5th generation district heating and cooling network (5GDHC) with regard to possible sector coupling potentials. It was evaluated, how the heat energy production through large industrial heat pumps and the total thermal capacities of the 5GDHC network can provide flexibilities for power to heat applications.
