New simulation tool maps existing, planned district heating networks

Researchers in Germany have developed a simulation software tool that visualizes heat flows in existing district heating networks and is capable of predicting load peaks. It can also be used to help plan and commission new grids. A research project led by the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics (Fraunhofer ITWM) has developed a simulation software tool for visualizing heat flows in district heating networks. The AD Net Heat project combines information on the lengths and cross-sections of pipes and the number and position of feed-in and consumption points of district heating networks ...
