Instructions Exercise C

The document describes modelling the integration of 10 TWh of district heating in the EnergyPLAN tool. It provides assumptions for the scenario, including: converting 4 TWh to decentralised gas CHP and 6 TWh to centralised gas CHP, with 10% losses in pipes for both; oil boilers to cover peak heat demand plus 20%; CHP capacity at average annual heat demand; 8 hours of thermal storage; and optimisation strategy and CEEP regulation settings. The user is instructed to open an existing Energyland file and save it as a new file to model this district heating scenario.

Modelling Renewable Energy Integration

Technologies in the EnergyPLAN Tool


Exercise C: Adding District Heating (~60 minutes)
In this exercise 10 TWh of individual heating is converted to district heating, which can then be supplied
with combined heat and power (CHP) plants, boilers, and thermal storage. Here are some assumptions you
can make when modelling this scenario (please note that these are not always applicable, but we will
assume them here for simplicity):

 4 TWh of the 10 TWh should be provided by decentralised gas CHP (group 2) – assume there are
10% losses in the district heating pipes, as a percentage of total production.
 6 TWh of the 10 TWh should be provided by centralised gas CHP (group 3) – assume there are 10%
losses in the district heating pipes, as a percentage of total production.
 Boilers on the district heating system should cover the peak heat demand plus 20% (the peak heat
demand can be found in the print out sheet). You can assume they are oil boilers.
 The capacity of CHP should be the average annual heat demand (the average heat demand can be
found in the print out sheet)
 The thermal storage units for district heating should be equal to 8 hours of average annual heat
demand.
 You should use the Optimisation Strategy: Technical Optimisation 2 – Balancing both heat and
electricity demands
 The stabilisation share of CHP2 should be 100%
 You should use the CEEP Regulation: 23

Do not forget to change the costs.

To begin:

 Open the file “Energyland_step1_powerplants.txt” from Exercise B.


 Then go to File->Save As and save a new file called “Energyland_step2_districtheating.txt”
