Patent ID: 11994302

Abstract:
A method for balancing mass flow during production failure or insufficiency in a district heating network comprising a plurality of substations, each substation comprising at least one primary side connected to the district heating network for transferring heat between the district heating network and the substation, a secondary side connected to least one space heating circuit for heating at least one space connected to the substation, and an adjustable valve arranged between the substation and the district heating network, the valve (102) in each substation being controlled by a heat curve f defining a calculated supply temperature (Tsupply, calc) for the space heating circuit on the secondary side of the substation as a function of a measured outdoor temperature (Toutdoor). The method further comprises a step of heat curve compensation for each substation and population compensation for all substations in the population. The result is then used to control the valve in the respective substation.
