The coupling between<br>electrons and heat currently takes place on a smaller scale. Larger-scale coupling between heat<br>networks and electricity networks cannot be effectively realized at the moment due to a lack of<br>optimization solutions that make heat production more flexible. For most heating networks in the<br>Netherlands, the heat demand is therefore leading in the production plan, regardless of the<br>conditions on the electricity market. This while heat production and a heat network, due to its<br>thermal mass and reasonable predictability in demand and demand peaks, has a high flexibility<br>potential.<br><br>This project will develop a continuously operating grid simulator and optimization model for heat<br>networks and production units including STEGs\/AVIs\/CHPs and heat pumps, in which the energetic<br>buffer capacity of heat networks is used to maximize the yields on the electricity market minus the<br>production costs of the heat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container container--no-margin\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container container--no-margin\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \"><a href=\"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/content\/uploads\/sites\/69\/2024\/12\/annex-57-task-2-netherlands-utrecht.pdf\">Full report<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"container container--no-margin\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \"><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Utrecht, Netherlands The future energy system will lead to the coupling of various energy carriers (electrons, moleculesand heat) to guarantee&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","filters":[97,93,84],"markets":[29],"applications":[39],"class_list":["post-762","case_studies","type-case_studies","status-publish","hentry","filters-design-study","filters-distrubuted-hp","filters-the-netherlands-country","markets-the-netherlands","applications-system-integration-flexibility"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies\/762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/case_studies"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/61"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies\/762\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":763,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case_studies\/762\/revisions\/763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"filters","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filters?post=762"},{"taxonomy":"markets","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/markets?post=762"},{"taxonomy":"applications","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heatpumpingtechnologies.org\/project57\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/applications?post=762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
