District Heating[LINK]
When the user is not interested in a plant simulation or there is some centralized source of hot water, the following model can be used in the input. This allows the user to achieve a simulation without specifying operating parameters or curve fits for boiler models. This model only needs the connections to the loop and the nominal capacity to simulate. See the InputOutput Reference for additional information (Object: DistrictHeating:Water and DistrictHeating:Steam). DistrictHeating:Water calculates the output capacity necessary from the inlet temperature to the setpoint temperature for that loop with the given mass flow rate in Watts. DistrictHeating:Steam calculates the mass flow rate of steam and the output capacity necessary from the inlet condensate to the saturated steam for that loop.
