Prediction approach of hourly output of energy station in distributed energy system based on attenuation and delay features of pipe network

Establishes an attenuation and delay model of pipe network of district energy system. The model can transform the hourly load of each building into the hourly output of energy station which makes the load to level and be as the basic of capacity matching and optimal operation of energy system. Furthermore, calculates the hourly output of energy station based on three cases in the same location. The results show that it is quite different between the load superposition value of all the users and the output of energy station.
