Use Cases

Examples of Energy System Models

Combined heat and power plant for a building district

Combined Heat and Power Plant for a Building District

The model shows a simplified heat, warm water and electrical energy consumer which is supplied by a combined heat and power plant. The consumption is defined via timetables. A heat storage serves to buffer load peaks. It can be observed in the simulation that the power plant cannot continuously meet the electrical load without electrical energy storage.

Multi-zone building with electrical vehicles

Multi-Zone Building with Electrical Vehicles

Model of a building with two thermal zones and an electric vehicle including its own charging station and battery. The model calculates the thermal behavior of the building through the balance of all heat quantities (transmission, internal loads, solar radiation). Electrical power is provided by a photovoltaic system and a small wind power plant. An air/water heat pump provides the building with heat.

Office building with ice storage

Office Building with Ice Storage

The model contains an office building with a heating and a cooling load. A heat pump produces heat, which is stored in the heat storage, as well as cold which is used for the building cooling load. The cooling energy is stored in an ice storage for seasonal storage and in a cold storage for short-term use.

District heating grid model

District Heating Grid

The model represents a district heating grid with all pipes, house connection stations and heat generators. The thermal and hydraulic properties of each component can be simulated in the grid, enabling analysis and optimization of critical grid nodes over the course of a year. This detailed grid model serves as the foundation for all further transformations towards a sustainable district heating grid.
