Abstract
The paper discusses the development of district heating systems and the impact of the energy market on the distribution network losses during the process of delivery to customers. The subject of interest is the occurrence of heat losses in pipelines during its operation, determining the amount and causes based on economic motivation and market behavior of heat producers. The technical parameters of the pipelines as well as the operating parameters of the distribution medium are used to calculate the heat losses. On the basis of the data, the average overheating of the pipeline by the flowing medium and the potential savings of the primary energy source are calculated. Subsequently, the economic impact of such a distribution network operation on the source of cogeneration production of heat and electricity is assessed. To determine the economic impact, the principles of the heating company operations, the impact of stock exchange price development for electricity and natural gas as the cause of the generation of waste heat in the form of heat losses are used.
