Control assessment in coupled local district heating and electrical distribution grids: Model predictive control of electric booster heaters

Model predictive control for a university heat prosumer with data centre waste heat and thermal energy storage

“…Numerical simulation showed that, compared to conventional weather-compensation control, the MPC proved to be cost-efficient, while preserving a decent indoor thermal comfort level. Leitner et al applied MPC to operate electric heaters for low-temperature DH systems [28]. The method was tested on a system model with model components of a water tank TES, a heat exchanger and pipelines.…”
