Abstract

Thermochemical-district-heating-cooling-networks provide an effective way to transport the excess heat and hygroscopic properties for long distances without suffering heat loss. Therefore, multinode thermochemical network components have been developed on two scales: 1) Demand-side application models for heating-cooling; 2) Thermochemical-district-network model, which transfers heat to the first-scale models. In this paper, we propose a design and simulation approach for a thermochemical-district-heating-cooling-network and its components. Simulation results show the feasibility of the simulation approach, which uses multiscale modelling. Moreover, the thermochemical-fluid mass on the second-scale was defined based on buildings heating-cooling requirements. The electrical energies used to produce the required heating-cooling were 16% and 30% respectively.
