Example model for a complete steam district heating system with a central plant that contains a single boiler

Buildings.Experimental.DHC.Examples.Steam.SingleBoiler

Information

This example model demonstrates a complete system simulation for steam district heating systems. The central plant features a single boiler. For the distribution network, pressure losses on the condensate return pipes are included, while the steam pipes are assumed to be lossless.
