Thermal storage facilities ensure a heat reservoir for optimally tackling dynamic
characteristics of district heating systems: heat and electricity demand evolution, changes of …

The present study explores the implementation of district heating and cooling systems
across a broad set of case studies reported in the literature. Topics addressed include their …

Smart energy systems that integrate multiple energy sectors are considered a promising
paradigm for providing a comprehensive and optimized solution for an achievable …

Modelling, simulation and optimization of an isolated building separated from the district in
which they operate is no longer of interest as a view point of improved efficiency, economic …

District heating and cooling (DHC) systems are attracting increased interest for their low
carbon potential. However, most DHC systems are not operating at the expected …

A review of current and future district cooling (DC) technologies, operational, economic, and
environmental aspects, and analysis and optimization methodologies is presented, focusing …

A net-zero energy district is any neighborhood where the consumption of the buildings is
offset by on-building generation on an annual basis. In this study, a net-zero energy district …

This study applies a mathematical programming procedure to model the optimal design and
planning of a new district which satisfies two features of the 4th generation district heating …

Abstract The Solar Combined Cooling, Heat, and Power (S-CCHP) system offers a
promising solution to the energy crisis and environmental concerns. Its operation …

Urban building energy models (UBEM) have the potential to become integral planning tools
for district energy systems due to the dynamic, interactive and complex nature of temporal …
