Abstract
Mathematical modeling is a useful tool for evaluating or comparing energy supply systems, particularly for aggregations over an extended area, where detailed analysis of each project is not possible. The basic modeling design of geothermal district heating systems is considered, along with suggested estimators for data elements which are not readily available for most applications.
