Heat demand mapping and advanced energy planning for the City of Osijek

Highly efficient district heating systems have a strong but still underutilized potential for the reduction of the primary energy consumption within the EU. They also represent an important factor when it comes to the increase of the flexibility of future energy systems and therefore enable a higher penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and photovoltaic with the utilization of power to heat technologies. Mapping of heat demand as well as potential sources of waste heat and other sources including biomass and geothermal energy is crucial for the precise planning of future energy systems that will be based around highly efficient district heating systems. The goal of this work is to present and utilize a heating demand mapping methodology on a case study for the city of Osijek in Croatia. The obtained data has been used to create scenarios for the development of Osijek’s energy system utilizing district heating and renewable energy sources. The EnergyPLAN modelling tool has been used to perform the energy system analysis created for this paper.
