DC 9: Integration of low temperature thermal energy with district heating systems.

Doctoral Candidate

Borislava Georgieva

Bio

Borislava comes from a cozy town in the South of Bulgaria. Last year she graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a masters in Chemical engineering. Despite not having extensive experience in Civil or Geotechnical engineering, Borislava has knowledge related to thermal energy, geothermal and waste heat, which she gathered from an internship she did related to her masters thesis in the Netherlands. Borislava has also worked extensively on CFD projects related to thermal processes and fluid flows.

Aim

The main objective is to investigate the integration of the heat produced by EGs into low temperature district heating systems.

Specific Objectives
  1. Assess the feasibility of integrating EGs with low temperature district heating system.
  2. Analyse the potential of urban energy tunnels (and other EGs) for geothermal heat utilization urban areas.
  3. Evaluate technological solutions for integration with existing building infrastructure.
  4. Conduct feasibility studies for selected European cities.
