Evaluating the “suitable” heating demand
Heating and cooling needs are responsible for half of the EU28's energy consumption In this analysis, we consider only space heating and DHW for the residential and tertiary sectors:
500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 Residential Tertiary Industrial Final Energy consumption for 2015 (TWh) Space Cooling Process Cooling Space Heating Hot Water Process Heating Cooking Non H&C

- We consider only the heating demand that fulfills the following conditions:
- Medium heat demand density areas: > 120 TJ/km²
- Maximum distance from a Power plant: 100 km

the whole vehicle fleet by 2050
- Flexibility by EVs:

patterns, charging demand integrated into the electricity demand
- V2G
- Possibility for the system to use the
connected batteries. Restricted by the charging paterns and the share

- Soft-linking long-term planning models and power dispatch models allows
to evaluate the adequacy and flexibility of the system, even over long time horizons.
- District heating with thermal storage does provide flexibility, but less than
those provided by EVs or hydro power plants
- This is partly explained by the low share of the thermal demand covered by
DH in our simulations. Considering heat pump with thermal storage would increase the benefits of heat-power sector coupling.
- All methods and models are released as open-source (Dispa-SET side):

- Simulation is performed for a whole year with a time step of one hour,
- Problem dimensions (not computationally tractable for the whole time-horizon)
- Problem is split into smaller optimization problems that are run recursively
throughout the year.
- Optimization horizon is three days, with a look-ahead period of one day.
- The initial values of the optimization for day j are the final values of the
- ptimization of the previous day.
- Avoid issues linked to the end of the optimization period (emptying the hydro)
