In Germany, where 80 % of household energy goes to space heating and hot water, shifting to low-carbon solutions is crucial. Fossil-fuelled district heating networks can incorporate renewable energy via heat pumps, improving efficiency. Although heat pump design typically favours minimal temperature lifts, higher lifts can be economically viable with low electricity prices and abundant renewables. Adding thermal energy storage boosts operational flexibility. This study explores a flexible heat pump operation incorporating part load behaviour with a thermal energy storage in a German city’s district heating system to minimise costs and carbon dioxide emissions. Using a mixed-integer linear programming model, it examines the impact of temperature adjustments and storage on system efficiency. The results show that the integration of a heat pump in a district heating system reduces operating costs. Compared to a supply without a heat pump, with levelised cost of heating of 9.98 cent/kWhth and a fixed operating mode with costs between 9.96 cent/kWhth and 11.49 cent/kWhth, the flexible use results in lowest costs of 9.85 cent/kWhth, while also reducing overall CO2 emissions. Using a full factorial sensitivity analysis, the levelised cost of heating ranged between 9.15 cent/kWhth in the best case and 10.37 cent/kWhth in the worst case for the selected configuration.}}, author = {{Rahlf, Henning Christoph and Divkovic, Denis and Knorr, Lukas and Schlosser, Florian and Meschede, Henning}}, issn = {{0196-8904}}, journal = {{Energy Conversion and Management}}, keywords = {{Heat transition, Optimisation, Temperature flexibility, Decarbonisation, Multi energy}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Flexible operation strategies for heat pumps in district heating systems using dynamic electricity prices}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.enconman.2026.121714}}, volume = {{364}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{59532, author = {{Knorr, Lukas and Buchenau, N. and Schlosser, Florian and Divkovic, Denis and Prina, M.G. and Meschede, Henning}}, issn = {{1364-0321}}, journal = {{Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Electrification and flexibility of process heat in energy system modelling: A review}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.rser.2025.115698}}, volume = {{216}}, year = {{2025}}, } @article{60081, author = {{Naumann, Marius and Ostermann, Moritz and Buchenau, Nadja and Oetzel, Jannik and Schlosser, Florian and Meschede, Henning and Tröster, Thomas}}, issn = {{0196-8904}}, journal = {{Energy Conversion and Management}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Energy efficiency improvement for decarbonization in manufacturing industry: A review}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.enconman.2025.119763}}, volume = {{338}}, year = {{2025}}, } @article{62045, author = {{Naumann, Marius and Henne, Kevin and Ostermann, Moritz and Schlosser, Florian and Meschede, Henning}}, journal = {{Procedia CIRP}}, location = {{Manchester}}, pages = {{1351--1358}}, publisher = {{Elsevier}}, title = {{{Modular Energy Demand Modeling of Manufacturing Processes for Energy Efficiency Improvement}}}, doi = {{doi.org/10.1016/j.procir.2025.08.001}}, volume = {{135}}, year = {{2025}}, } @inproceedings{63397, abstract = {{Decarbonizing industrial process heat is a crucial step in mitigating climate change. While Process Mining (PM) has gained traction in sustainability research—such as optimizing production scheduling to reduce energy use or accounting for carbon footprints—it has largely overlooked the challenges and opportunities related to thermal energy, accounting for 66% of total energy demand in industrial processes. At the same time, Heat Integration (HI) is an established engineering discipline focused on maximizing the efficiency of thermal energy systems. However, HI traditionally relies on static or incomplete data about energy demands, limiting its effectiveness and accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that combines PM and HI to enable data-driven, process- and product-centric modeling of industrial energy demands. By integrating event logs and thermal energy data, our approach allows for a fine-grained analysis of heat demand patterns corresponding to specific process activities and product variants. We demonstrate the applicability and advantages of the framework by simulating a pharmaceutical manufacturing process and evaluating energy demands and heat recovery potentials. Our findings show that our PM-enabled HI framework provides more accurate and actionable insights into the temporal and product-specific variation of thermal energy demands. By capturing the causal relationships between process activities, product characteristics, and energy consumption, our approach enables improved analysis, planning, and optimization for heat recovery and process decarbonization. This integration of PM and HI expands the analytical tools for both disciplines and contributes to advancing the sustainable transformation of industrial processes.}}, author = {{Zapata Gonzalez,
