Further Work

4th Generation Generation District Energy Networks are a promising technology. The analysis executed can be complemented by further research in the following areas:
  • ​Detailed reduction cost analysis by making use of the thermal store and taking into consideration the daily variation in electricity prices.
  • Exploring alternative solution with a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) supply source based on anaerobic digestion of agricultural waste.
  • Examine in detail how different retrofitting options can influence the heat demand profiles and the financial viability of the network.
  • Detailed analysis of the control and monitoring devices included in the network design.
  • In depth examination concerning the different types of heat exchanger connections.
