Sustainable District Heating

• Describe the district heating system and the main components from heat production, heat distribution to in-house substation
• Design low-temperature heating system in existing buildings
• Identify different strategies to adapt the current district heating system for future low-temperature operation
• Design and dimension district heating network and conduct hydraulic and thermal performance analysis
• Evaluate the dynamic thermal performance of district heating pipes and substations
• Perform thermal-economical analysis on district heating system
• Contribute to the further development of low-temperature district heating system
• Evaluate/design district heating system with flexibility on both production and demand sides
• Compare different heat supply options as waste heat and renewable energy for low-temperature district heating
• Set up reports on design of low-temperature heating systems and low-temperature district heating systems

The course includes both basic concepts on district heating system component and their performance and the state-of-the-art knowledge on low temperature district heating for new and renovated low energy buildings. The course deals with the following topics:
– The role of district heating and its future perspective
– Major components in a district heating system from heat production, distribution to end users
– General concept of low temperature district heating
– District heating pipeline heat transfer characteristics
– District heating network hydraulic and thermal simulation
– In-house district heating units thermal performance
– Residential building supplied with low temperature district heating
– Current status on low temperature district heating in Denmark and internationally.
