Abstract: A method for controlling a local distribution system's outtake of heat or cold from a thermal energy distribution grid. The method includes determining a base steering temperature for the local distribution system's outtake of heat from the thermal energy distribution grid, receiving a control signal indicative of reducing the steering temperature for the local distribution system's outtake of heat from the thermal energy distribution grid; determining a reduced steering temperature for the local distribution system's outtake of heat from the thermal energy distribution grid based on the control signal and the base steering temperature; determining a return temperature of a heat transfer fluid in the return, and upon the determined reduced steering temperature being lower than the return temperature, determining a temporary steering temperature higher than the return temperature and lower than the base steering temperature; and controlling the local distribution system's heat outtake based on the temporary steering temperature.

Abstract: A district energy distributing system comprising a geothermal power plant comprising a first and a second circuit. The first circuit comprises a feed conduit for an incoming flow of geothermally heated water from a geothermal heat source; a boiler comprising a heat exchanger configured to exchange heat from the incoming flow of geothermally heated water to superheat a working medium of a second circuit of the geothermal power plant; and a return conduit for a return flow of cooled water from the boiler to the geothermal heat source. The second circuit comprises the boiler configured to superheat the working medium of the second circuit; an expander configured to allow the superheated working medium to expand and to transform the expansion to mechanical work; and a condenser configured to transform the expanded working medium to liquid phase and to heat a heat transfer fluid of a district thermal energy circuit.

Abstract: A method for identifying a deviation in a thermal energy circuit is presented. The method comprising: receiving (302) a first hot fluid flow measurement (f1) from a first hot fluid flow sensor (208) arranged in a hot fluid conduit (102); receiving (304) a first cold fluid flow measurement (r1) from a first cold fluid flow sensor (204) arranged in a cold fluid conduit (104); receiving (306) a second hot fluid flow measurement (f2) from a second hot fluid flow sensor (210) arranged in the hot fluid conduit (102) upstream the first hot fluid flow meter (208); receiving (308) a second cold fluid flow measurement (r2) from a second cold fluid flow sensor (206) arranged in the cold fluid conduit (104) downstream the first cold fluid flow sensor (204); receiving (310) a thermal device flow measurement (g) from a thermal device flow sensor (202) configured to measure a thermal device flow of a thermal device (106a) connected to the hot fluid conduit (102) downstream the first hot fluid flow sensor (208) and upstream the second hot fluid flow sensor (210), and to the cold fluid conduit (104) upstream the first cold fluid flow sensor (204) and downstream the second cold fluid flow sensor (206). The method further comprising upon (312) the first hot fluid flow measurement (f1) is different from the second hot fluid flow measurement (f2) and the thermal device flow measurement (g) in combination, generating (314) a first deviation signal indicating a deviation in the hot fluid conduit (102), or upon (316) the first cold fluid flow measurement (r1) is different from the second cold fluid flow measurement (r2) and the thermal device flow measurement (g) in combination, generating (318) a second deviation signal indicating a deviation in the cold fluid conduit (104).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermal server plant (40) arranged to be connected to a thermal energy circuit (10) comprising a hot conduit (12) configured to allow heat transfer liquid of a first temperature to flow therethrough, and a cold conduit (14) configured to allow heat transfer liquid of a second temperature to flow therethrough. The thermal server plant comprises a balancing device (41) arranged to be connected to the hot conduit and to the cold conduit for selectively allowing heat transfer liquid to flow from the hot conduit, via a regulator (42) and a heat exchanger (44), into the cold conduit or allowing heat transfer liquid to flow from the cold conduit, via the regulator and the heat exchanger, into the hot conduit. The flow direction is determined by a pressure difference between the hot and cold conduits. The heat exchanger is configured to alter the temperature of the heat transfer liquid flowing through the balancing device by selectively cool heat transfer liquid from the hot conduit or heat transfer liquid from the cold conduit.

Abstract: A fluid transportation network (1) comprises a plurality of parallel zones (Z1, Z2), fed by a common supply line (L), with a regulating zone valve (V1, V2) in each zone (Z1, Z2) for regulating a flow of fluid (ϕ1, ϕ2) through the respective zone (Z1, Z2). A processing unit (RE) receives valve positions (pos1, pos2) of the regulating zone valves (V1, V2) and determines and sets an adjusted valve position for a line valve (VE) arranged in the supply line (L), depending on the valve positions (pos1, pos2) of the regulating zone valves (V1, V2). A processing unit (RE) further receives a measurement of a total flow of fluid (ϕtot) through the supply line (L) and determines and sets adjusted valve positions for the regulating zone valves (V1, V2), depending on the measurement of the total flow of fluid (ϕtot) through the supply line (L).

Abstract: The invention provides a system for energy distribution that uses liquid carbon dioxide as a working fluid. Evaporation of the carbon dioxide provides cooling, and compression of the carbon dioxide gas back to the liquid state provides heat. The amount of heat transferred at both stages is sufficient to provide environmental heating and cooling. Waste thermal energy from a power plant, in the form of hot water, is fed into the system and used to drive the overall process. An underground thermal energy storage system is used to store energy flowing into the system that is in excess of the current demand.
