Estimating the energy saving potential from carrying out adjustment works in heat supply systems on the basis of modeling their thermal-hydraulic operating modes

Abstract

An example of determining the economic effect from carrying out adjustment works based on the results of calculating the thermal-hydraulic operating modes of heat supply systems with the use of mathematical models implemented in the Angara information-and-computation system is presented. The models take into account the dynamic characteristics of operating modes, variation of meteorological conditions, disturbing and control inputs applied to the system, and the real cost spent for producing energy and distributing its flows. It is shown that considerable potential for saving energy resources lies in setting up rational distribution of heat flows over the system. An important thing in this regard is that proper organization of the heat supply system operating modes and development of adjustment works are only possible on the basis of carrying out preliminary calculations.
