Optimize heat prosumers' economic performance under current heating price models by using water tank thermal energy storage
TLDR
In this paper, a dynamic optimization problem was formulated to explore prosumers' economic potentials, and the size parameter of WTTESs was swept in prosumers to obtain the optimal storage size considering the trade-off between the payback period and the heating cost saving.About:

District Heating and Cooling
TL;DR: In this paper, district heating and cooling systems substitute ordinary primary energy supply for heating, and increase both energy efficiency and decarbonisation in the global energy system, however, they are highly underestimated in contemporary energy policy, both nationally and internationally.
