How to Compute Complex Interconnected District Heating Systems,

Abstract

The cost-intensive extension of urban district heating systems demands a relatively accurate assessment of the distribution apparatus with respect to the heating market to be supplied. Here we consider the plans of currently available computer programs which can reproduce with practical approximation the operating conditions of complicated interconnected heating networks. Along with the validity of the program, the quality of its application is equally critical; and this application requires a meticulous analysis of parameters such as line resistances, temperature conditions and load distribution.
