Nowadays, one of the main alternatives for a more rational use of energy in heating applications is the heat pumping technologies. The market is dominated by two kinds of heat pump systems: the electrically driven vapor compression heat pumps (EHP), which ...
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 ...
To be profitable, a geothermal energy system must effectively and economically convert a given resource into useful energy services to be delivered to the consumer during different periods of the year. These services include electricity, district heating, ...
Although heat pump based district heating is often an obvious solution, adapting the delivery temperature to the most exigent users is detrimental to overall system performance. This pitfall can be avoided with a centralized plant of heat pumps, cogenerati ...
The efficient thermal control of buildings is a complex problem. Non controlled perturbations like user behaviour and meteorological conditions can change much with time and make this task difficult. This work proposes considering the building as a 'living ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
District energy systems can potentially decrease the CO2 emissions linked to energy services, thanks to the implementation of large polygeneration energy conversion technologies connected to buildings over a network. To transfer the energy from these large ...
