District heating expansion is making increasing progress
Energy efficiency and district heating networks are an essential part of the energy transition. Expansion is progressing rapidly in Germany. Strategic development requires professional simulation and calculation. Many measures also involve the expansion of existing networks. Until a few years ago, the hydraulic design of network expansions could still be carried out using simple linear calculations. Nowadays, the pipes are often meshed in a complicated way. A special analysis tool can be used to optimize the design of such networks. This carries out all the necessary calculations for optimum network design using the STANET software.
