Abstract: Optimal design and management of DH networks require numerical models for simulating the physical behavior of the network in various operating conditions. DH network models usually rely on the physical description of the fluid-dynamic and thermal behaviours. The use of physical models can represent a limitation in various cases: a) when extended networks are considered (several thousands of nodes); b) when multiple simulations are required in real-time; c) when multi-energy networks are optimized. In these cases, compact models are preferable.
