A MINLP optimization of the configuration and the design of a district heating network: Academic study cases

The aim of this work is to propose a tool for the design assistance of District Heating Network (DHN). Two goals of DHN optimization are handled simultaneously: the optimization of the configuration and its design. The optimization objective is to minimize the global cost of the DHN over 30 years. I...
