Demand response events in district heating : Results from field tests in a university building

摘要: Abstract Demand side management will play a major role in future energy systems. However, while they have been explored some depth for electricity grids, similar progress has not made district heating networks (DHN). To this end, the current work field-tested effect of demand management, form price based, response (DR) events, DHN catering to university building. Responding variations pricing model, temperature inlet water was varied from substation. Using combinations parameters, 11 different DR scenarios were executed. gauge interventions, temperature, room air and occupant satisfaction monitored. Depending on constraints imposed, significant peaks drops noted. The did greatly alter levels. study able provide useful data field tests events DHN. also showed that based may be triggered executed without significantly impacting with thermal comfort premises.
