“…A prosumers that have their sources and/or energy storage systems, basing on the energy consumption and production balance, regulate their consumption to improve the efficiency and reliability of both their own energy supply and the entire energy system. As evidenced by the analysis of publications on prosumers, most of the studies are devoted to their operation within electric power systems [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The prosumer concept is however no less relevant for district heating systems (DHS) that are the largest fuel consumers, especially in the countries with a cold climate (in Russia, for example, more than 45% of total fossil fuel consumption goes for heating).…”

The problem of optimal load distribution between district and distributed heat sources (heat sources of prosumers) in the district heating systems are considered. The methodical approach and mathematical model for solving this problem are proposed. They are based on methods of the theory of system energy researches, theory of industrial organization, theory of hydraulic circuits, and basic laws of cogeneration. The case study results obtained by using the developed methodology are presented. The potential economic effect of the prosumer adoption under specified conditions is demonstrated. The conclusions and directions for further research are formulated.

“…A number of studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] deal with various aspects of the functioning and management of AP regimes (in the English-language literature -prosumer) as part of power supply systems. Significantly, the methodological issues of the AC operation in district heating systems are raised [8,9].…”

The paper formulates the problem of ensuring the reliability of the heat supply system due to the optimal distribution of reliability parameters in the system, including taking into account capabilities of an active consumer to replace part of the load with own sources of thermal energy. Methods and models for solving this problem are proposed, which are based on the theory of random processes, the theory of hydraulic circuits, and the basic laws of heating. Results of the computational experiment based on the developed methodical apparatus are presented. The possible economic effect of using an active consumer for solving the describe problem is also reviewed in the paper.

“…In another part of this work, the focus was given to the market operation of considered facility. The influence which electricity grid tariffs have on flexible power to heat application was investigated in [20], but more research was done in the field of the possibility of plants operation on the open electricity market [21], [22]. As for the heat energy market, it is still in its infancy as most of the DHS are in public/municipality ownership.…”

In this paper, gate-fee changes of the waste-to-energy plants are investigated in the conditions set by European Union legislation and by the introduction of the new heat market. Waste management and sustainable energy supply are core issues of sustainable development of regions, especially urban areas. These two energy flows logically come together in the combined heat and power facility by waste incineration. However, the implementation of new legislation influences quantity and quality of municipal waste and operation of waste-toenergy systems. Once the legislation requirements are met, waste-to-energy plants need to be adapted to market operation. This influence is tracked by the gate-fee volatility. The operation of the waste-to-energy plant on electricity markets is simulated by using EnergyPLAN and heat market is simulated in Matlab, based on hourly marginal costs. The results have shown that the fuel switch reduced gate-fee and made the facility economically viable again. In the second case, the operation of the waste-to-energy plant on day-ahead electricity and heat market is analysed. It is shown that introducing heat market increased needed gate-fee on the yearly level over the expected levels. Therefore, it can be concluded that the proposed approach can make projects of otherwise questionable feasibility more attractive.
