Abstract
Linear programming is used as a standard tool for optimising unit commitment or power flows in energy supply systems. For heat supply systems, however, it faces a relevant limitation: For them, energy yield depends on the output temperature, thus both quantities would have to be optimised simultaneously and the resulting problem is quadratic. As a solution, we describe a method working with discrete temperature levels. This paper presents mathematical models of various technologies and displays their potential in a case study focused on integrated residential heat and electricity supply. It is shown that the technique yields reasonable results including the choice of operational temperatures.
