District heating supply transformation – strategies, measures, and status quo of network operators’ transformation phase

Energy, 2022, vol. 239, issue PB

Abstract: Several cities are currently developing strategies in order to lower the emissions of their building heat supply to zero. Nevertheless, up to now there is no heat transformation guideline addressing questions such as the steps required to develop a transformation strategy and their order, the maturity levels of transformation strategies, or existing transformation measures and a viable methodology to compare these. In this research, based on scientific findings of optimal system design, connected with the practical experience of relevant stakeholders, who are involved in the transformation process, these questions are addressed focusing on district heating.
