Data for article: Economic Analysis of Heat Distribution Concepts for a small Solar District Heating System

This repository contains material specific to the article named in the title.
The material includes input .dck files of the different simulation models for import into TRNSYS, including pipe calibration models and calculation sheets with values from the calibration simulation.
Furthermore, there are some calculation sheets with economic calculations used for the life cycle costs and energy quantities used for the energy balance and sensitivity studies.
Some calculation reports from the cost calculation software Wikells are included, together with costs from tenders and price lists of manufacturers.
Price quotes have been anonymised and the manufacturer product catalogues are not included, to avoid identification of the manufacturer.
This because academic work should not contain information which may used for commercial purposes (e.g. use of academic work for marketing) or affect commercial conditions (e.g. disclosing information on price structure).

Additional material, such as detailed model descriptions, method descriptions and calculations is available, from a related dataset from another article using the same system models, through the supplied link.
This includes the calibration of the copper pipes used in the solar thermal system.

Using the information supplied in the two repositories, it should be possible to get a proper understanding of the work done and to reproduce the results.
