Installing a 🌡️ thermal energy storage to a heating system introduces flexibility which provides the possibility to control heat source(s) more efficiently. To ensure the 📈 maximal efficiency, the Optimal Heat Source Scheduler provides the user with an optimal schedule for the selected heat source(s) for a 24 hours period. The tool includes powers of the respective heat source as well as the times when the heat source is on or off in the calculations. Furthermore, it uses the estimated heating power demand to create an optimal schedule, keeping the heating medium at the respective required temperatures. In the Repository below you can find the tool in 5 languages: Please follow the instructions in the README text document and the User Manual in the zip folder carefully before working with the calculator. |
