Optimizing the renewable and fossil-fired generation capacities: Case study of interconnected district-level systems

We first comprehensively analyze determining the generating capacities of each type, then discuss the heat distribution across interconnected district-level heat energy systems (“the hubs”) containing both low-scale and centralized heat plants; discussion is presented from the standpoint of primary...

In order to evaluate the consequences of all possible scenarios, we analyze a novel district heating (DH) system with low-scale solar collectors and heat pumps against central combined heat-and-power (CHP) plant fueled with fossil fuels and biomass.
