A VALIDATED METHOD TO ASSESS THE NETWORK LENGTH AND THE HEAT DISTRIBUTION COSTS OF POTENTIAL DISTRICT HEATING SYSTEMS IN ITALY

A validated method to assess the network length and the heat distribution costs of potential district heating systems in Italy

The evaluation of the district heating network investment costs requires knowledge of its topology.However, when assessing district heating potential, the topology is not known a priori and a simulation is required.One method for the generation of simulated networks involves the use of Minimum Spanning Tree, from the graph theory.In this work a met
