Hybrid Energy Networks IEA-DHC webinar

The aim of the IEA DHC Annex TS3 „hybrid energy networks” is to promote opportunities and to overcome challenges for district heating and cooling (DHC) networks in an integrated energy system context, focusing on the coupling to the electricity and the gas grid. As this project nears its completion, this webinar will focus on the interaction between the district heating networks with the electricity and gas grid.

Registration is required by Friday, 23rd April 2021 (end of working day) via this LINK. Please find the agenda here: https://www.iea-dhc.org/the-research/annexes/2017-2021-annex-ts3-draft
