District energy systems have the potential to decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services (heating, hot water, cooling and electricity), thanks to the implementation of large polygeneration energy conversion technologies, connected to a group of b ...
Concern for the environment has been steadily growing in recent years, and it is becoming more common to include environmental impact and pollution costs in the design problem along with construction, investment and operating costs. To economically respond ...
A simultaneous optimization of the design and operation of a district heating, cooling and power generation plant supplying a small stock of residential buildings has been undertaken with regards to cost and CO?2 emissions. The simulation of the plant cons ...
A design methodology allowing engineers to consider simultaneously and from the earliest phases of design some of the key factors of sustainable development (pollution, life cycle data) has been developed and successfully demonstrated on two examples of in ...
Providing heat pumps for the retrofit of fuel based boilers in residential heating, is a short or medium term challenge and a major opportunity for a substantial reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. While effective solutions for improved high temperature ...
A new type of air-water heat pump has been developed with the aim to cover an extended application range in high temperature residential heating (for retrofitting existing oil or gas boilers in hydronic heating systems). The base heat output is about 10 kW ...
The increasing concern for the environmental impact of human activities stimulates the development of new methods for the analysis and design of industrial processes including energy systems. It is generally admitted that the considerations of environmenta ...
This paper aims to illustrate a new holistic modeling environment through a case study implementing a district heating system to supply four groups of users identified in the city of Tokyo. The holistic modeling environment, called DOME (Distributed Object ...
Although heat pump based district heating is often an obvious solution from an energy standpoint, adapting the delivery temperature to the most exigent users is detrimental to overall system performance. This pitfall can be avoided with a centralized plant ...
A more widespread usage of heat pumps would contribute to significantly reduce both local and global environmental impacts. This is particularly relevant within cities, where advanced integrated energy systems incorporating heat pumps and associated with d ...
