Energy crisis becomes increasingly serious with the rapid industrial development. Apart from searching for the alternative energy sources, researchers are dedicated to increasing the efficiency of energy utilization in the industrial production process to alleviate the energy scarcity. The...

Inlet cooling is effective for mitigating the decrease in gas turbine performance during hot and humid summer periods when electrical power demands peak, and steam injection, using steam raised from the turbine exhaust gases in a heat recovery steam generator, is an effective technique for...

The paper deals with the actual problem of the functioning and development of district heating systems in the framework of the transition to intelligent energy, in which the active consumers (prosumers) holds the key place. The paper proposes an optimization mathematical model for management the...

The paper deals with the problem of operating the reliability of prosumers as part of a district heating system, taking into account overload time redundancy that they possess. This time redundancy can be both passive, caused by heat accumulating effect and use of thermal energy storages, as...

The analysis and synthesis of reliability of energy systems, particularly district heating systems (DHS), is based on probabilistic modeling of different system states and events connecting these states (usually, these are failures and restoration of system components). The paper deals with the...

The Latvian district heating system historically is characterized with a high share of imported natural gas. The paper looks at the situation where specific policy tools significantly increase the proportion of renewables, in particular of wood fuel, in the energy balance.

The study of the dynamic characteristics of the district heating (DH) systems is a necessary prerequisite for the control strategy. Through the study of the primary system and secondary system in DH systems, dynamic models of the DH network are built in this paper. Two important parameters and...
