  4. PREVIOUS REDUCTIONS OF TEMPERATURE • In the early stages of the use of district heating systems, the distribution of heat took place through the use of steam as the heat-carrying medium. • the newly built systems that evolved were based on super-heatedwater, its temperature at about 120 °C, and afterwards on hot water, at a temperature of about 90 °C. • Further reduction in the supply temperature was achieved by pertaining trials of decreasing 5 °C of the supply temperature each week from 85 °C to 70 °C in an operating Danish district heating system. • In more recent developments low-energy district heating systems operating at very low temperatures, 55 °C in the case of supply and 25 °C in the case of return, were found to satisfy the heating demands of low-energy houses when control of the substations was adequate.

  5. SUCCESSFUL EXAMPLES

  6. Lystrup, Denmark • Heat Supply to: • 40 terracedlow-energy houses, each 87-109 m2 • A communal building • Substations (Differing in domestic hot water production) • 3 kW with 120 L storage tank • 32.3 kW with instantenous production

  7. SSE Greenwatt Way Development, UK • Heat Sources: • Air Source Heat Pump, • Ground Source Heat Pumps • Biomass Boiler • Supply of 55 °C to: • 10 dwellings

  14. The Major Aim • An infrastructural transformation process for Danish Municipalities involving; • (i) developing a method for designing low-energy district heating systems considered for new settlements, • (ii) developing a method for designing low-energy district heating systems for already existing settlements involving existing buildings in use of existing old in-house heating systems and • (iii) developing a decision support tool in planning for the use of renewable energy sources as heat sources for low-energy district heating systems. Regarding the heat supply, strong emphasis is placed on matters of sustainability, security of supply and reliability. Hypotheses • A detailed analysis of energy performance and of overall costs of low-energy district heating systems can be used as a rational basis for planning the use of low-energy district heating in areas in particular in which low energy houses are built.

  16. Purpose and Scope • The first research question is that of what method or methods can best be used to determine the most energy-efficient and sustainable optimal dimensioning of a low-energy district-heating piping network, together with the substation types and the network layouts that can most fruitfully be employed. • The second research question concerns the technical possibilities of integrating the use of low-energy district heating systems in already existing settlements with the existing in-house heating systems. • The third research question concerns that of how a decision support tool can be developed for determining the optimal capacities of renewable-energy-based energy conversion systems for supplying heat to low-energy district heating systems and the technical specifications such a tool should meet.
