Corresponding to the call ¿Stadt der Zukunft¿, the project P2H-Pot will identify economically feasible potentials for Power-to-Heat (P2H) in urban regions. The suitability of different technical system configurations are investigated using thermodynamic simulation and considering experiences from Scandinavian cases. The assessment of short, medium and long term relevance and economic feasibility of P2H is accomplished by simulating model-based scenarios up to 2050 of the Austrian and German electricity and heat market. In cooperation with a district heating company we will carry out three case studies. Barriers against the implementation of P2H are identified and measures to overcome these barriers are developed.
