Dept., Yeungnam Univ., KoreaA simulati<strong>on</strong> program for analyzing the effects of thenetworking operati<strong>on</strong> of existing DHC system inc<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> with CHP system <strong>on</strong>-site is to be discussedin this study. The practical simulati<strong>on</strong> for arbitrary areaswith various building compositi<strong>on</strong>s is carried out for theanalysis of operati<strong>on</strong>al features in both systems, <strong>and</strong>the various aspects of thermal network operati<strong>on</strong> arehighlighted through the detailed assessment ofpredicted results. The intrinsic operati<strong>on</strong>al features ofCHP prime movers, gas engine, gas turbine etc., areeffectively implemented by realizing the performancedata, i.e. actual operati<strong>on</strong> efficiency in the full <strong>and</strong> partloads range.For the sake of simplicity, a simple mathematicalcorrelati<strong>on</strong> model is proposed for simulating variousaspects of change effectively <strong>on</strong> the existing DHCsystem side due to the networking operati<strong>on</strong>, instead ofperforming cycle simulati<strong>on</strong>s separately. The empiricalcorrelati<strong>on</strong>s are developed using the hourly basedannual operati<strong>on</strong> data for a branch of the Korean<strong>District</strong> <strong>Heating</strong> Corporati<strong>on</strong> (KDHC) <strong>and</strong> are implicit inrelati<strong>on</strong> between main operati<strong>on</strong> parameters such asfuel c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong> by use, heat <strong>and</strong> power producti<strong>on</strong>. Inthe simulati<strong>on</strong>, a variety of system c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong>s areable to be c<strong>on</strong>sidered according to any combinati<strong>on</strong> ofthe probable CHP prime-movers, absorpti<strong>on</strong> or turbotype cooling chillers of every kind <strong>and</strong> capacity. Fromthe analysis of the thermal network operati<strong>on</strong>simulati<strong>on</strong>s, it is found that the newly proposedmethodology of mathematical correlati<strong>on</strong> for modellingof the existing DHC system functi<strong>on</strong>s effectively inreflecting the operati<strong>on</strong>al variati<strong>on</strong>s due to thermalnetwork operati<strong>on</strong>. The effects of intrinsic features ofCHP prime-movers, e.g. the different ratio of heat <strong>and</strong>power producti<strong>on</strong>, various combinati<strong>on</strong>s of differenttypes of chillers (i.e. absorpti<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> turbo types) <strong>on</strong> theoverall system operati<strong>on</strong> are discussed in detail withthe c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong> of operati<strong>on</strong> schemes <strong>and</strong>corresp<strong>on</strong>ding simulati<strong>on</strong> algorithms. The variousaspects of system c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong> in terms of CHPsystem optimizati<strong>on</strong> are also discussed.INTRODUCTIONIn Korea, the district heating <strong>and</strong> cooling (DHC) systemgains share of the market steadily <strong>and</strong> it amounts to15712.3% <strong>on</strong> the basis of the total number of householdsat the end of 2008 [1]. The annual heat sales, via DHCnetwork, in 2008 have reached 16,676 thous<strong>and</strong> Gcal<strong>and</strong> it increased by about 5% <strong>on</strong> average after 2001.C<strong>on</strong>sidering the trend of new-town development inmetropolitan areas <strong>and</strong> newly developing residentialareas <strong>on</strong> a large scale, it is generally expected to showa clear increasing trend of DHC systems <strong>on</strong> the marketfor the time being. Furthermore, the relevant changesof circumstances such as the l<strong>on</strong>g-term expectati<strong>on</strong> forhigh prices of fossil fuels <strong>and</strong> the imminent realizati<strong>on</strong>of UNFCCC around the world will help the CHP <strong>and</strong>DHC system tighten its grips <strong>on</strong> the forthcomingheating <strong>and</strong> cooling market [2]-[3]. Am<strong>on</strong>g the severalmerits of DHC systems against separate heat & power(SHP) or central heating system, the distinctive featureof being able to c<strong>on</strong>struct the networking system withthe neighbouring DHC systems certainly deserves toreceive attenti<strong>on</strong> from the view point of efficient use ofenergy resources <strong>and</strong> operati<strong>on</strong> costs reducti<strong>on</strong> [4].However, the effectiveness of networking operati<strong>on</strong> ofCHP <strong>and</strong> neighboring DHC systems is str<strong>on</strong>glyinfluenced by the c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s of energy c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong>behaviours <strong>and</strong> corresp<strong>on</strong>ding operati<strong>on</strong> scenarios <strong>on</strong>both sides. The different pattern of energy c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong>in new dem<strong>and</strong> areas is highly desirable for creatingsynergy effects by networking operati<strong>on</strong>. In additi<strong>on</strong>,the different operati<strong>on</strong> strategy of CHP system with thatof DHC network can also improve the effectiveness ofnetworking operati<strong>on</strong>. The optimal system c<strong>on</strong>figurati<strong>on</strong>of the CHP system with networking operati<strong>on</strong> certainlydiffers from that of st<strong>and</strong>-al<strong>on</strong>e CHP system not tomenti<strong>on</strong> the operati<strong>on</strong> characteristics. Since the heatflows in the network are bi-directi<strong>on</strong>al, the appropriatemodelling for the mutual effects <strong>on</strong> each system ishighly required for the accurate estimati<strong>on</strong> of thenetworking operati<strong>on</strong>.The main purpose of this study is to examine thefeasibility of the network operati<strong>on</strong> of the CHP system<strong>on</strong>-site with the existing DHC system in terms ofefficient use of primary energy <strong>and</strong> reducti<strong>on</strong> of theoperati<strong>on</strong> cost. In this study, a simulati<strong>on</strong> program isdeveloped for analysing the thermal networkingprocess between the existing DHC system <strong>and</strong> theCHP system for the newly developing area. The effectsof thermal networking <strong>on</strong> the existing DHC systemoperati<strong>on</strong> are implemented using mathematical
