Simulation model of heat distribution and consumption in municipal heating network

Abstract

This paper describes the designed and implemented computer model of the distribution system of heat consumption in the urban agglomeration (SHDC - System of Heat Distribution and Consumption). This model is designed as a simulation model. The simulation is one of the (few) methods, which can be effectively used for the analysis of large and complex dynamic systems properties, which the distribution system and heat consumption in the municipal heating networks is without doubt. The model was implemented in the form of computer applications and tested on real operational data.
