This book offers comprehensive coverage of the modern energy challenge of integrating renewable energy sources into district heating (DH) systems. It presents a high level of scientific and technical detail, grounded in original research and a synthesis of consistent bibliographic material. The aim is to address the growing need for modernization and enhanced energy efficiency to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions.This book includes physical and mathematical concepts designed to make this publication a self-contained, up-to-date source of information for scientists, researchers, and engineers. It also provides promising directions for future research and innovation in sustainable thermal energy systems.This book features a wide range of content, including theoretical studies, numerical and optimization models, experimental case studies at both laboratory and in situ scales, and numerous practical applications. Key areas of emphasis include:Development, energy analysis, modeling, and optimization of DH systems.Valorization of renewable energy sources.Integration of heat pump technologies with renewables into DH systems.Analysis of thermal energy storage technologies and their potential integration into DH systems.Evaluation of the performance of various medium- and low-temperature heat distribution systems in buildings.Advanced applications of renewable energy integration into local and DH systems.Structured across nine pedagogically designed chapters, and enriched with illustrations, tables, and examples, this book serves as a thorough guide for researchers, engineers, lecturers, and graduate and Ph.D. students in the field of district heating engineering with integrated renewables.
