EXCEL tool for assessing the situation
The Excel Demand Assesment is primarily designed as a working tool for planners, enabling them to:
- determine the load characteristic of the overall system (required in the Q-guidelines) according to the heat demands of the individual heat consumers;
- determine the annual duration curve of the required heat output from the load characteristic, the climate data and the comfort requirements for space heating;
- determine the production share of the biomass boiler.
In addition, the EXCEL situation analysis tool enables quality managers to perform a plausibility check on the design data provided by planners, as the requirements, indicators and characteristic curves required by QM for Biomass DH Plant are automatically calculated and evaluated.
The EXCEL tool enables the Q-manager to check the plausibility of the design data supplied by the main planner, because the key figures and characteristic curves required by QM are calculated automatically. Although the table is not a planning tool for determining the required heat capacity and heat demand of the individual consumers, the EXCEL tool can be used for determining the required heat output of the entire plant (load characteristic curve) and the design of the biomass boiler in a bivalent plant. For the final design of the plant, the calculation of the main planner is always decisive.
