- title: Optimisation of an electricity-and-heat coupled system at the territory scale: should the heat production be diluted or non-diluted?
- presenter: @LukasH
- description:
Unlike electricity production, which is centralised and mutualised throughout the territory, heating production is mainly decentralised and is specific to every dwelling.
The non-dilution question appears at two different levels: at the centralized-versus-individual level and between the individual heating solutions. First, dwellings connected to district heating networks are very unlikely to rely as well on individual heating devices. Secondly, we can ask ourselves if a dwelling investing in a particular individual heating solution (such as a gas boiler) is likely to add another heating equipment.
Taking into account, or not, this particularity will influence the MILP formulation (by adding non-dilution constraints) and therefore possibly influence the global results of the optimisation.
This lightning talk assesses the potential impact of non-dilution (on a simplified electricity-and-heat optimisation model) and addresses the following questions:
Does the non-dilution affect the optimisation results? To what extent?
Should the non-dilution be taken into account? In which context?
