District Heating Network Modeling and Analysis


Advantages

Calculation

Run steady state and dynamic calculations to determine pressure, temperature, supply times and massflow distribution in the network to guarantee uninterrupted service. Model scenarios with multiple input stations operating on different supply temperatures while using specific controls. In design mode, the calculation engine proposes new pipe types based on specific pressure loss and velocity of a pipe.

Network Plots

Generate network plots adhering to a freely configurable labeling and color/weight coding schema to visualize your results. You can easily identify critical areas in your network and see the system reaction in operational mode.

Profile Plot

Bentley sisHYD can generate dynamic profile plots using a user-defined network path. The network profile window displays both the pressure of the supply head and the return (and static pressure for district heating). The profile plot also includes an elevation profile, the vapor pressure, and pressure maintenance line on the same diagram. The calculation results are displayed in a line chart with detailed tabular results available in a tooltip window.

Time Series

The time series plot displays the change of a physical property over time for a calculation scenario. For the dynamic analysis, a time series plot and report is available.

Seamless Integration with MicroStation User Interface

With Bentley sisHYD, experience a modeless dialog system with workflow-driven wizards. Easily navigate between plots, reports and calculation logs, and the associated data with MicroStation-like ease. The Bentley sisHYD graphic tools are used to build and modify the modeled facility graphically.

Engineering Libraries

Bentley sisHYD is delivered with a pipe-type catalog (Microsoft Excel spreadsheets). Extend that library with your own pipe types and reuse the catalog across projects.
