Alpizar Castillo, J.J. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The urge to reduce the dependence on natural gas for heating at the residential level has led to the deployment of different fossil fuel-free alternatives. In the Netherlands, two technologies are leading the transition: heat pumps, due to their high COP, and photovoltaic–thermal systems, due to their dual electric-thermal output. However,...journal article 2024

Khlebnikova, E. (author), Pothof, I.W.M. (author), van der Zwan, Sam (author), Loverdou, Lefki (author)This paper presents challenges in the control of 5GDHC networks and proposes an approach for the robust control design of these networks. Temperatures are low and temperature differences are small in 5GDHC networks, in order to minimise heat losses in the distribution network and directly utilise low-temperature heat sources. Therefore, the...journal article 2024
