DTU Management has deployed a diverse tool kit to study the future aspect of district heating: Decarbonization pathways for Danish district heating

DTU Man has used energy system investment optimization model Balmorel to study the future development trends for the district heating sector in Denmark. We have developed several new modules (add-ons) for Balmorel. These modules comprehensively model the essential dynamics of the heating sector, which include investment competition between heat savings measures, district heating expansion, and individual heating technologies. Thus, the model can now optimize investment into the whole energy system by taking into the abovementioned dynamics of the heating sector.
