Project

The analysis of the integration of large TES in District Heating Networks (DHNs) and renewable sources requires dynamic simulation to address the fluctuating behaviour of sources and sinks. The development of dynamic simulation energy system models requires experience, data for validation, and, above all, it is time-consuming. The need to evaluate… ...
