Practical application of the heat distribution and consumption model

Abstract

This article focused on the practical experiments made by 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 connected to prediction mechanism. The simulation is one of the 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. The model was implemented in the form of computer applications to provides interfaces to adapt it into a real heating system. To provide necessary functionality, the model takes basic information from the system to be modeled, such as the lengths and diameters of the real pipe system along with operational data. The model and its subsequent links are designed for heat supply prediction, which can be used in system regulation. Depending on the structure of the particular real system, the temperature of heating water is usually required to predict and the other variables such as mass flow and the water temperature in the return line.
