Abstract

The efficiency of centralized heating systems developed on a local level in Russia has been studied. The obtained results allow numerous schemes applied for the heat and electricity supply used in various towns to be generalized and a unified system of technical and economic indices to be formulated that characterize the technology of heat and power generation and transport. Using these indices, calculations of the efficiency of combined and separate schemes of energy supply in various climatic zones of Russia have been performed. Based on the complex comparative analysis of the efficiency of centralized heating systems with allowance for the local and system factors, it is possible to estimate the optimum scale of centralized heating in Russia up to 2030 and recognize the main trends in the development of this industry in various stages of its development.
