The new guest speaker of the Planetarium Talks is Kristina Schumacher, who talks about her highly acclaimed master thesis. As part of the research project "Scenario development for the emission-optimized energy supply of a district heating city" (CERO2), a linear energy system model was developed in the open energy modelling framework oemof in Python. The techno-economic model is used to optimize a 100 % renewable district heating supply for the city of Flensburg.

The talk

The modelling results contribute to the concretization of the goal of a climate-neutral district heating supply of Flensburg by the year 2035, which was decided by the Flensburg City Council. The deployment and investment planning is limited to the district heating sector and is based on real site-specific data on heat load, temperature curves and renewable heat potentials. In addition to the inclusion of regulatory framework conditions, such as the federal subsidy “Bundesförderung für effiziente Wärmenetze”, technologies are considered with a high degree of technical detail. Within object-oriented programming, time-dependent varying plant efficiencies are calculated based on temperature profiles of different heat sources and the district heating grid. A special feature is also the external simulation of a seasonal pit storage, which allows a detailed consideration of heat losses and reduced district heating temperatures at the outlet of the storage tank.
