This report details the modeling efforts consistent with the HYBRID repository of the Integrated Energy Systems (IES) program, motivated to develop information data tables characterizing the thermodynamic losses associated with transporting thermal energy over large distances. The described model establishes a methodology to currently characterize the impacts of certain parameters such as distance, piping geometry, and heat transfer fluid among others as well as sets up ability to interconnect the delivery model into Modelica IES simulations in the future. This report describes the modeling efforts completed and describes some of the future studies that will be done using results produced by the modeling efforts.
