District heating and cooling networks and Sensible heat storage

Energy flows from district heating and cooling networks to sensible heat storage; energy flows from sensible heat storage to district heating and cooling networks.

District heating and cooling networks (energy) and Sensible heat storage (energy): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · District heating and cooling networks → Sensible heat storage

Large tanks and pits store network heat.

2. Energy flow

Physical flow · 48% of flow · Sensible heat storage → District heating and cooling networks

Seasonal stores release heat into networks in winter.

• 48% of Sensible heat storage's energy goes this way
