“…Main reason of such decreased consumption lays in substitution of liquid fuel with natural gas for satisfying of heating demands for households [6]. Oil refineries were mostly destroyed in NATO bombing during 1999.…”

Paper presents the energy policy of the Republic of Serbia with special attention to the energy situation on the government controlled territory. South Serbian autonomous province of Kosovo and Metohija is under UN jurisdiction since the 1999 according to UNSC Resolution 1244. Renewable energy sources are rarely used in Serbia with exception of energy from hydropower plants, but in this sector priorities in geothermal and energy coming from biomass recently increased. In natural gas sector, Serbia has the deal with Russia for construction of South Stream gas-line through Serbia and for construction of the first underground storage in depleted gas reservoir in Banatski Dvor. In 2008, Serbia also sold 51% of the government founded petroleum industry -NIS which has exclusive monopoly for exploitation of crude oil. Serbian government has complete monopoly in electric power sector. Electric power infrastructure became technologically obsolete, and operative efficiency is at very low level. Serbia has not yet decided whether Serbian Electric Power Industry -EPS will be privatized. District heating sector mostly natural gas fuelled is highly inefficient and it is in jurisdiction of local municipalities but also has social component dictated by central government.

Feasibility Study of District Heating with CHP, Thermal Store and Heat Pump

Integration of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant, Heat Pump (HP), Thermal Storage (TS) and auxiliary boiler into a district heating scheme is able to provide an efficient way of using energy. This paper analyses the feasibility of such a scheme in Ebby Vale using the EnergyPro tool under existing energy market and policies. In the scenario based simulation, a 40279.7 MWh worth of heat was sent. The results show that the CHP+TS system present more encouraging environmental performance and acceptable profit margin, whilst the economic potential can be enhanced further with the addition of a HP unit. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to show to which extent economic assumptions will vary the result.

“…Its composition varies from field to field and region to region (Table 1). With its various applications, it is domestically used for heating buildings and water, cooking, drying, and lighting (Brkić and Tanasković, 2008;Joelsson and Gustavsson, 2009). Many home appliances running on natural gas include furnaces, barbecues, fireplace logs, pool and spa heaters, and fire pits.…”

Hydrate formation along the natural gas pipeline has been identified as a serious threat to the survival of oil and gas industry. The formation if not quickly removed may plug the flowline to collapse the system. This problem costs the industry billions of dollars in revenue loss annually. While all the available literatures on hydrate formation process have focused on its ability to plug the flow line, there has been little or no recognition of its ability to initiate internal corrosion of the pipeline which is a bigger problem to the industry, hence, the importance of this study. This work focuses on this new area for research interest aimed at revolutionalizing the field of corrosion science and technology. In this study, the composition of the lattice which includes methane (CH 4 ), carbondioxide (CO 2 ) or hydrogen sulphide (H 2 S) and water molecules (H 2 O) amongst others is considered. These gases have the ability to easily undergo chemical and/or electrochemical reactions with the pipeline's internal surface while the lattice is in place. The reaction(s) will easily initiating corrosion of the pipe. The study further identifies the fact that even after the successful removal of the hydrate, the initiated corrosion process may continue with the continuous flow of the fluid within the pipeline thereby leading to gradual degradation of the material and deterioration of the pipe's integrity. Over time, the pipeline will begin to leak and/or may undergo full bore rupture (FBR). This, apart from the economic consequences will also generate environmental and political consequences and may lead to complete replacement of the pipe-length. Various management schemes including the necessity for the industry to heavily invest in research and development are recommended.
