Tools and methods for dynamic simulation and optimization are vital to increase the efficiency of our existing energy systems and to design new ones that may differ fundamentally from those of today. District heating provides multiple options for hydraulic integration of renewable energies, short and long-term storage technologies, power-to-heat (P2H), (industrial) waste heat utilization and smart integration of other urban infrastructure such as wastewater treatment plants. To address the challenges of this emerging paradigm in district heating design and operation, new requirements arise for simulation and optimization tools such as fully dynamics and multi-domain analysis. This article presents a novel framework that allows fully dynamic investigations of 4th Generation District Heating Systems.
