      abstract     = {Integrating sustainable heat sources into district heating
                      systems is crucial to reduce the mainly fossil-based heat
                      supply in the building sector. However, integrating a heat
                      source into an existing district heating system can be
                      challenging due to non-matching temperature levels or
                      unfavourable availability of the heat source intended for
                      utilisation. To avoid the problems associated with heat
                      source integration, i.e. utilisation in an existing district
                      heating system, an alternative approach is to separate the
                      district heating network into two independent networks.
                      Thus, the separated network forms a standalone district
                      heating system, which is supplied by the utilised heat
                      source and can be individually transformed depending on the
                      characteristics of the utilised heat source and the supplied
                      buildings. In this way, complex design and control adaptions
                      for the entire district heating system are avoided. This
                      work presents a method for the automatic determination of
                      optimal district heating separation depending on the given
                      district heating network structure and the heat source that
                      should be utilised. For this purpose, an optimisation model
                      determines the separation based on predefined coherent areas
                      in the network, while considering the potential of the heat
                      source and the heat requirements of the buildings. The
                      application of the presented method shows various network
                      separations depending on the heat source conditions and the
                      focused optimisation objectives. The subsequent network
                      simulation identifies critical areas for insufficient heat
                      supply from which various necessary measures could be
                      derived.},
