Flexibility through implementation of heat pumps in multi-vector energy systems and thermal networks

The project focuses on the introduction of heat pumps in district heating and cooling systems and describes possible solutions and barriers for heat pumps in these markets. Creating the potential flexibility in the heat grid and the power grid is a main component of the project.

The possibilities to increase the share of renewable energy and surplus heat and to reduce CO2 emissions in the used heating systems by using heat pumps will be a main focus of the project. In addition, minimizing system losses through the use of heat pumps will also be a goal, as will reducing CO2 emissions.
