Sensor position affects energy requirements and indoor comfort

How does the sensor arrangement affect the energy requirements for heating and air-conditioning systems?

Increasing the flexibility of CHP plants

Use of heat storage systems and power-to-heat plants in district heating generation

CHP plants can be made more flexible by integrating thermal storage systems in district heating networks, as this enables temporal decoupling of the..
