“…Therefore, researchers and industry experts propose different methods of defining heat tariffs. For example, there is a proposal to introduce benchmarking in order to restrict the possibility for DH utilities to increase their costs [35], or to use the incremental cost method, which considers not only the marginal costs of the existing system, but also its replacement costs (the incremental cost method) [36].…”

Transition of the district heating (DH) system to the 4th generation system involves several challenges, which refer not only to the introduction of state-of-art technologies, but also to the development of a sustainable pricing methodology. Introduction of the 4th generation systems will soon force the DH industry to solve issues regarding the possibility of organisation of the market in the same way as it happened in the power industry (Directive 2009/72/EC) by complete separation of producers from the transmission system service providers. The present article discusses various development scenarios of a DH utility within the framework of an organised market and their pricing methodologies, as well as evaluates their sustainability considering the transition to the 4th generation system.

“…3. Optimization of the flow temperature in the heating system using the TERMIS program Source: developed according to TSB-TemperatureOptimization-eng.pdf https://www.schneider-electric.com.ng/en/download/document/TSB-TemperatureOptimization-eng/ The introduction of market models for heat supply, based on technical parameters and a cost account, enables the improvement of the operational efficiency of the heating system and optimization of investment processes both for a single enterprise and in the whole sector (Sarma and Bazbauers, 2016;Sipilä et al, 2016). A comprehensive approach to the innovation management process in heating must include not only technological aspects but also organizational solutions and decisionmaking processes (White andBruton, 2011, Tidd andBessant, 2018).…”

In recent years heating in Poland has been transformed as a result of the priorities of the country's energy policy implemented within the European Union. The increase in energy security, the development of renewable energy sources and the fulfilment of legal and environmental requirements are very important. Exploitation of district heating systems should ensure reliable and safe heat supplies for industrial and municipal customers with high energy efficiency and reduction of environmental impact. The article discusses the conditions and directions of centralized heating systems development as well as technical and economic issues, which are important for the security of heat supply. The Author describes selected technological innovations used in the technical infrastructure for heat transfer and modern IT systems which are improving the management of heating systems. The article includes the results of simulation research with use of IT tools showing the impact of selected innovations on the improvement of network operation conditions. Directions of modernization of heating systems in the aspect of increasing energy efficiency and security of heat supply have also been indicted here.

“…The investigation findings were presented in a number of reports (Åberg, Fälting, & Forssell, 2016; Broberg, Backlund, Karlsson, & Thollander, 2012). The market liberalization discussions were complemented with debating on various options for the DH prices’ regulation (Difs & Trygg, 2009; Li, Sun, Zhang, & Wallin, 2015; Sarma & Bazbauers, 2016; Wissner, 2014).…”

Transition from monopoly to competition-based markets is widely recognized processes around the globe when it comes to achieving efficient electricity and gas trade thus presenting direct benefits to the final energy consumers. But when talking about smaller infrastructures like district heating (DH) market is still viewed as a natural monopoly. This article presents Lithuanian case to open up existing municipal infrastructure to third-party access in order to complete fuel switch in DH generation faster and to increase efficiency of the entire system through competitive pressure. The article presents the set of circumstances in DH sector back in 2010; focuses on regulatory framework, which was developed and introduced through two phases in Lithuania; and formulates impacts of the reorganization of DH sector from vertically integrated monopoly to single buyer model for de-monopolized generation.
