“…The disadvantage of this method is overestimated specific heating characteristics, as a result of which, when calculating thermal loads according to the set of rules by designers [2], the data with the method for enlarged parameters of the object significantly differed [1]. This is justified by the introduction of new building materials for thermal protection of buildings, the use of automated individual heat points, new heating devices with higher heat transfer coefficients, the use of new materials for thermal protection of pipelines, as a result of which the consumption of thermal energy for heating buildings and reducing the specific heating characteristics of buildings are reduced [9][10][11][12][13][14] .…”

The author has developed an engineering calculator for calculating the heat flow for heating buildings according to the enlarged parameters of the object. The algorithm of the calculator is based on the method of determining the amount of heat energy and heat carrier in water systems of municipal heat supply. The author carried out a systematic analysis of thermal loads on heating of buildings in Russia according to the data of implemented building projects. With this in mind, new coefficients a, n were calculated to determine the specific heating characteristics of the building for newly constructed buildings. The algorithm for calculating the heating of buildings according to the enlarged parameters of the object is corrected. The calculation algorithm is implemented in the software

“…Compared to a strictly regulated DH market, in a fully liberalized DH environment, the tariff is determined based on the DH performance benchmarking parameters [1], [2]. It promotes an incentive-based regulation framework [3], [4].…”

“…A novel technological efficiency benchmarking parameter was introduced in the study by Sarma & Bazbauers, [1], which demonstrate that in order to enhance the technological development and advancement in the DH infrastructure, 'best available technology' (BAT) indicators could be used to set a benchmark that would serve as an instrument to monitor the achievements towards higher efficiency of DH companies [1]. By setting the efficiency requirements based on BAT indicators, DH companies could be stimulated and guided towards improving their efficiency [1]. BAT parameters for different DH elements could be used to construct the benchmark indices that would indicate how DH plant's energy efficiency deviates from the energy savings that BAT technologies can offer [27].…”

AbstractDistrict heating (DH) has been highlighted as an important part in future carbon neutral energy supply. However, the performance of different DH systems varies a lot and the existing regulations do not always motivate DH companies to move toward more sustainable heat production. Therefore, this article presents novel methodology for Climate index determination which can be further used for the comparison of DH systems. The Climate index includes seven different indicators which show DH system performance according to energy efficiency, sustainability and environmental impact dimensions. The methodology is applied for 20 different DH systems operating in Latvia. The results show that the performance of 5 natural gas-based DH systems is below the determined climate benchmark.

District Heating Tariffs, Economic Optimisation and Local Strategies during Radical Technological Change

This paper addresses economic aspects of heat savings in the context of strategic heat planning. The analysis uses the city of Aalborg, Denmark, as a case where municipalisation through a recent acquisition of a coal-fired cogeneration of heat and power (CHP) plant has made an update of a municipal strategic energy plan necessary. Combining datasets on buildings and insulation techniques with economic methods, we investigate how the local district heating tariff can be adapted to improve the conditions for heat savings and support the transition to lower supply temperatures in line with the requirements of future fourth generation district heating systems. The paper concludes that implementing a fully variable heat tariff scheme improves the financial incentive for heat savings, while also making the system development less vulnerable to fluctuations and shortages in capital markets. The paper supplements existing literature on heat savings with novelty in its approach and in its systematic investigation of the interplay between tariff policies and interest rates.
