Abstract:Decentralized feed-in of solar surplus heat from prosumers into a District Heating Network is here addressed. A specified architecture combining a Return/Supply connection, a set of valves, a feed-in pump and a primary side connection of the solar field led to the conception and fabrication of a bidirectional substation prototype. The latter is tested in a hardware-in-the-loop configuration regarding the consumer and solar field sides while the DHN side of the substation prototype is connected to a real DHN. A… Show more
