dc.description.abstractDistrict-Heating (DH) covers around the 9% of the total heat demand in the EU, with a proven highperformance levels and low operational costs. DH may suffer adaptations in order to maintain competitiveness with individual heating systems. The most important one is the reduction of supply temperatures up to 50°C, emerging the concept of Ultra Low Temperature (ULT) DH. ULT DH allows the transmission and distribution heat losses minimization, since heat losses are proportional to the temperature-gradient between supply line the ambient, increasing overall system performance. Furthermore, enables the integration of low-grade energy sources with low marginal costs, such as solar thermal energy or waste heat from industrial and commercial buildings. This study presents the combination of a novel 3 function-scheme (3FS) substation and a micro booster heat pump for domestic hot water. The novel design of the substation allows different operation modes between the grid and the building according to the temperature level and demand range every moment. Regarding the microbooster, this unit is used directly to lift the temperature of the domestic hot water (DHW), so that risk of legionella is avoided and that the required comfort temperature is reached. Preliminary test for the energy performance of the booster heat pump was measured on serially produced units according to tapping profiles and methodologies of standard EN16147. DHW coefficients of performance of 5.2 and 8.5 were measured for heat source supply temperatures respectively of 25 and 40 °C and return temperatures of 22 and 30 °C. This paper explores the possible operational modes of a 3FS in combination with a Building Integrated Solar Thermal System (BISTS) and a Microbooster heat pump.en
