Complete Analysis of the Impact of Distributed Heat Accumulators on the Efficiency of the District Heating Networks

Abstract

The article concerns the analysis of the impact of distributed heat storages (accumulators) type TES (Thermal Energy Storage) on the parameters of the district heating network. The simulation results show that the heat storage has a significant impact on the functioning quality of the heating system, reduces the time delay of transport and as well as minimizes heat loss during distribution process. The comparative analysis of simulation results and the data obtained from measurements confirmed the correctness of simulation studies.
