Utility-side storage
There are big advantages with short term thermal storage (TES) to cut daily peaks in the heat load in DH/DC systems.
Strategies for decreasing peak loads and energy use
This article describes the main techniques adopted for decreasing peak loads and manage the demand side of a DH or DC system.
Geothermal heat – remnants of the Big Bang
Ground source heat pumps (GSHP) and deeper geothermal heat can provide temperatures high enough for conventional DH.
Biomass for the masses
Biofuel CHP plants have the potential to be used as a renewable peak plant, during times of low supply or high demand.
Strategies and concepts for LTDH and HTDC
DH systems operating at lower temperatures than conventional systems enable utilizing heat sources with low temperature like waste heat.
