Integrating heat pumps and thermal storage tanks into district heating and cooling systems improves thermal regulation at substations by elevating low-grade thermal energy for domestic hot water and space heating, enhancing efficiency and reducing losses. Advanced monitoring and control systems optimise substation operations in real-time, boosting energy efficiency and sustainability.

However, a lack of detailed system information limits comprehensive energy assessments. Energy disaggregation helps analyse energy use more accurately.

The report, produced in the context of the REWARDHeat Project, focuses on the Energy Centre in Helsingborg, detailing standardised heat pump packages, design principles, components, and operational strategies to meet demands for domestic hot water and space heating.
