Abstract
This study explores the potential of utilizing the energy flexibility of heat customers to reduce peak loads and improve the efficiency of district heating systems. Using Modelica and compiled in Dymola, a rule-based controller and dynamic heat price signals were developed to unlock the energy flexibility of buildings. Simulations were conducted to estimate peak load reduction and potential energy savings that could be realized. To investigate this opportunity, we conducted a simulation-based modeling study of a case study consisting of 19 apartment blocks connected to a local district heating network in a certain location.
