The flexibility of thermal energy systems can support the energy system as a whole in
integrating a large share of fluctuating renewable energy sources. The current paper …

To aid in the integration of renewable and residual energy sources in the energy system,
energy flexibility is required. By charging and discharging energy storage, energy flexibility …

Today's district heating (DH) networks in Norway are 2nd and 3rd generation systems, with
supply temperatures ranging from 80 to 120° C. In new developments, it is desirable to shift …

A detailed heat transfer model of a storage tank was developed to assess the performance
of a district heating system with de-centralized storage solutions. The performance of two …

This paper assesses possibilities of integration of centralised and decentralised storages in
the district heating network (DHN) of Aarhus, Denmark and their operation strategy, with the …

The integration of large and very large solar thermal plants in district heating (DH) networks
gained increasing attention in recent years. However, the integration poses some …

Determining the ideal size of compact thermal energy storage containers has been an issue
for many building designers due to the difficulty of determining the transient performance of …
