District heating for the capital area of Iceland heavily relies on geothermal water, with one of the key components being the deep well pump network located in Reykjahlíð, Mosfellsdalur, near Reykjavík. However, the network’s operation is yet to be fully optimized for overall efficiency. The combina...
