• The performance of six small scale district heating systems (DHS) in Upper Bavaria has been monitored over a 12 months’ period with the aim to identify typical optimization potentials and to develop a standardized approach to performance monitoring. Extensive operational data were analyzed and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were assessed. KPIs show strong fluctuation and variation between different DHS. Main potentials were found in the control of the DHS, component sizing, and grid temperatures. Further standardization of performance monitoring is required and will be addressed in a follow-up study which was started in January 2018.
