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(scenario, 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
