The integration of renewable energy sources in District Heating Networks (DHNs) is a very efficient way to reduce the impact of the heating sector on climate change.
The cost-effectiveness of the adaptation of existing networks or the deployment of new networks based on renewable sources however remains a challenging aspect of the energy transition. In this project, we investigate the multi-objective optimisation of such integrations, taking into account both environmental and economical aspects. Trade-offs are found between CO2 emission reduction targets and the required capital and operating expenses.
