Stoel, Fianne (author)District heating systems (DHSs) have the potential to play a big part in the energy transition. The efficient operation of DHSs is therefore also an important subject of study. The operation of DHSs where combined heat and power (CHP) plants are used are particularly interesting, because CHPs can operate with high efficiency.<br/><br/>In this...master thesis 2022

Janssen, Femke (author)Energy demand for heating and cooling makes up 73\% of total energy use of buildings [2]. This figure is expected to increase over the coming decades, as demand for cooling energy may rise in the Netherlands due to climate change. The heating and cooling of buildings are at relatively low temperature compared to the industry and thus allowing...master thesis 2022

van de Weijer, Paul (author)Geothermal sources could provide society with clean and renewable energy nearly eternally. Geothermal district heating, in particular, could play a significant role in the energy transition. Although the application has been implemented to some extent, further upscaling is challenging due to various economic, technical and institutional...master thesis 2022

Wahi, P. (author), Konstantinou, T. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)In the Netherlands, district heating with a lower temperature supply (<70°C) will play a crucial part in accomplishing the energy transition goals of delivering natural gas-free sustainable heating to dwellings. The existing dwellings often require energy renovations to make them suitable for lower temperature heating. However, choosing...conference paper 2022

Stepanovic, K. (author), Wu, J. (author), Everhardt, Rob (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author)The integration of pipeline energy storage in the control of a district heating system can lead to profit gain, for example by adjusting the electricity production of a combined heat and power (CHP) unit to the fluctuating electricity price. The uncertainty from the environment, the computational complexity of an accurate model, and the scarcity...journal article 2022

Wu, J. (author), Everhardt, Rob (author), Stepanovic, K. (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author)District heating system (DHS) optimization is becoming an increasingly important problem because of the unused potential in flexibility that could allow less energy being wasted and the integration of renewable energy. While new optimization methods are proposed every year to tackle this problem, the literature lacks a good way to benchmark...conference paper 2022

(author)For efficient operation of heating and cooling grids, underground thermal energy storage (UTES) can be a key element. This is due to its ability to seasonally store heat or cold addressing the large mismatch between supply and demand. This technology is already available and there are many operational examples, both within and outside a...conference paper 2022

van Liefland, Jules (author)The municipality of Amsterdam is currently in the middle of a heat transition. The municipalit aims to cut down the use of natural gas for space heating in order to reduce its impact on the natural environment. For the Geerdinkhof neighborhood in Amsterdam South-East, the municipality is planning to implement a district heating system. These...master thesis 2021

Hansen, Mathijs (author)The purpose of this research is to find an alternative to the natural gas-fueled heating systems of dwellings for the neighborhood of Westenholte. Reasons for replacing this system include the high GHG emissions, resulting from the combustion product of natural gas (CO2), in addition to its greenhouse effect. As a solution to replace the GHG...master thesis 2021

Perik, Reinout (author)Of the global energy demand, 20% can be allocated to residential energy demand. Most of this energy is produced by fossil fuels, which raises the importance of energy production in a more sustainable way. In order to do this on the level of residential heating applications, the Dutch government aims to make its residential neighborhoods natural...master thesis 2021

Mahieu, Mare (author)There are several different methods to solve the steady-state flow problem of district heating networks and gas networks. In this thesis, the nodal method, the loop method, and the loop-node method are compared. This is done in order to determine for what type of network, with specific characteristics, which of these methods is preferred. In...bachelor thesis 2021

Vaisi, Salah (author), Mohammadi, S. (author), Habibi, Kyoumars (author)District heating (DH) has a major potential to increase the efficiency, security, and sustainability of energy management at the community scale. However, there is a huge challenge for decision makers due to the lack of knowledge about thermal energy demand during a year. Thermal energy demand is strongly dependent on the outdoor temperature,...journal article 2021
