Description
Author
Conventional thermal power generating plants reject a large amount of energy every year. If this rejected heat were to be used through district heating networks given prior energy valorisation there would be a noticeable decrease in the amount of fossil fuels imported for heating. As a consequence benefits would be experienced in the form of an increase in energy efficiency an improvement in energy security and a minimisation of emitted greenhouse gases. Given that heat demand is not expected to decrease significantly in the medium term district heating networks show the greatest potential for the development of cogeneration. Due to their cost competitiveness flexibility in terms of the ability to use renewable energy resources (such as geothermal or solar thermal) and fossil fuels (more specifically the residual heat from combustion) and the fact that in some cases losses to a country/regions energy balance can be easily integrated into district heating networks (which would not be the case in a fully electric future) district heating (and cooling) networks and cogeneration could become a key element for a future with greater energy security while being more sustainable if appropriate measures were implemented. This book therefore seeks to propose an energy strategy for a number of cities/regions/countries by proposing appropriate measures supported by detailed case studies.
