- Abstract
The potential of utilizing temperature‐variable district heating systems in rural areas was investigated. A local district heating system in Germany and the related project NATAR are briefly described; measurement data is evaluated. Operational experiences with a seasonal temperature reduction and consequent advantages for different heat generation systems and heat storages are discussed. The analysis of measurement data reveals a high optimization potential for solar thermal systems in case of an integration both into a low‐ and a high‐temperature storage. Furthermore, a combined heat‐and‐power plant in combination with a CO2 heat pump promises sector‐coupling potential and high electricity self‐consumption.
