Abstract :
Due to changing market conditions on the energy market, profit margins are under pressure. This is also the case with thermal grids. In this paper an industrialized thermal grid, with heat delivery to greenhouse growers, is investigated. To improve the profitability of this thermal grid the possibility of transforming it into a smart thermal grid by introducing a heat-trading platform is proposed.
