Diameter optimization of district heating and cooling piping network based on hourly load

•A mathematical model of annual equivalent cost of DHC piping network is established based on hourly load.•An improved genetic algorithm is proposed bases on genetic operators: crossover, mutation and recombination.•Optimal diameters of the DHC piping network are obtained.•The change of electricity...
