district_heating¶
The central module containing all code dealing with heat supply for district heating areas.
-
backup_gas_boilers
(scenario)[source]¶ Adds backup gas boilers to district heating grids.
Parameters: scenario (str) – Name of the scenario. Returns: Geopandas.GeoDataFrame – List of gas boilers for district heating
-
backup_resistive_heaters
(scenario)[source]¶ Adds backup resistive heaters to district heating grids to meet target values of installed capacities.
Parameters: scenario (str) – Name of the scenario. Returns: Geopandas.GeoDataFrame – List of gas boilers for district heating
-
capacity_per_district_heating_category
(district_heating_areas, scenario)[source]¶ Calculates target values per district heating category and technology
Parameters: - district_heating_areas (geopandas.geodataframe.GeoDataFrame) – District heating areas per scenario
- scenario (str) – Name of the scenario
Returns: capacity_per_category (pandas.DataFrame) – Installed capacities per technology and size category
-
cascade_heat_supply
(scenario, plotting=True)[source]¶ Assigns supply strategy for ditsrict heating areas.
Different technologies are selected for three categories of district heating areas (small, medium and large annual demand). The technologies are priorized according to Flexibilisierung der Kraft-Wärme-Kopplung; 2017; Forschungsstelle für Energiewirtschaft e.V. (FfE)
Parameters: - scenario (str) – Name of scenario
- plotting (bool, optional) – Choose if district heating supply is plotted. The default is True.
Returns: resulting_capacities (pandas.DataFrame) – List of plants per district heating grid
-
cascade_per_technology
(areas, technologies, capacity_per_category, size_dh, max_geothermal_costs=2)[source]¶ Add plants of one technology suppliing district heating
Parameters: - areas (geopandas.geodataframe.GeoDataFrame) – District heating areas which need to be supplied
- technologies (pandas.DataFrame) – List of supply technologies and their parameters
- capacity_per_category (pandas.DataFrame) – Target installed capacities per size-category
- size_dh (str) – Category of the district heating areas
- max_geothermal_costs (float, optional) – Maxiumal costs of MW geothermal in EUR/MW. The default is 2.
Returns: - areas (geopandas.geodataframe.GeoDataFrame) – District heating areas which need additional supply technologies
- technologies (pandas.DataFrame) – List of supply technologies and their parameters
- append_df (pandas.DataFrame) – List of plants per district heating grid for the selected technology
