Dataset for the paper "Stakeholder-centric model for efficient district heating: Networks interconnection and industrial waste heat in north-eastern Italy"

Data are related to the results of the research published in the paper https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2025.104431, which considers the interconnection intervention of two adjacent district heating networks exploting waste heat from an industrial facility. The data are organized as follows:

•  File HE_impact.xlsx reports the effect of size of the heat exchanger to be installed (optimization variable) on the objective functions.
• File Optimization_results.xlsx: reports the results of the optimization and the Pareto fronts of the solutions.
• File Hourly_profiles.xlsx: contains the hourly profile of the integrated, recovered, stored, and dissipated share of energy along the simulation period. The dataset covers the entire calendar year, starting from 00:00 on January 1st and proceeding with hourly intervals until 23:00 on December 31st.

This study was funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, in the framework of the iNEST – Interconnected Nord-Est Innovation Ecosystem (iNEST ECS00000043 – CUP G23C22001130006). The views and opinions expressed are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union, nor can the European Union be held responsible for them. The dataset was developed as part of the activities carried out by Spoke 3, Research Topic 1 (Energy), Task S3_RT1.2 – Integration of renewable energy sources, alternative fuel/vector production and energy efficient management in industrial and logistic systems. This work was also supported by the University of Udine in the framework of the Strategic Plan 2022-25 – Interdepartmental Research Project ESPeRT.
