Download or read book District Heating and Cooling Networks in the European Union written by Antonio Colmenar-Santos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates the potential of the combined use of district heating networks and cogeneration in the European Union (EU). It also proposes measures to remove barriers hindering their widespread implementation, formulates policies for their implementation, and evaluates their economic, energy, and environmental consequences. The book presents a preliminary assessment of the likely cost and the impact of widespread adoption of district heating networks and cogeneration carried out in three cities that represent the variety of climatic conditions in the EU. Based on this assessment, it is estimated that by undertaking the maximum economically feasible implementation across the EU, fuel savings of €95M/year would be achieved, representing energy savings of 6,400 petajoules (PJ), which is around 15% of the total final energy consumption in the EU in 2013 (46,214.5 PJ). Using simple and quick calculations and not specific software, the method used allows the evaluation of the potential benefits of retrofitting existing power plants into cogeneration plants and connecting them to nearby heating networks. In light of increasing energy costs and environmental concerns, the book is of interest to heating engineers, city planners, and policy-makers around the globe.
Download or read book Advanced District Heating and Cooling DHC Systems written by Robin Wiltshire and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced District Heating and Cooling (DHC) Systems presents the latest information on the topic, providing valuable information on the distribution of centrally generated heat or cold energy to buildings, usually in the form of space heating, cooling, and hot water. As DHC systems are more efficient and less polluting than individual domestic or commercial heating and cooling systems, the book provides an introduction to DHC, including its potential contribution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions, then reviews thermal energy generation for DHC, including fossil fuel-based technologies, those based on renewables, and surplus heat valorization. Final sections address methods to improve the efficiency of DHC. Gives a comprehensive overview of DHC systems and the technologies and energy resources utilized within these systems Analyzes the various methods used for harnessing energy to apply to DHC systems Ideal resource for those interested in district cooling, teleheating, heat networks, distributed heating, thermal energy, cogeneration, combined heat and power, and CHP Reviews the application of DHC systems in the field, including both the business model side and the planning needed to implement these systems

Download or read book District Heating and Cooling Networks written by Antonio Colmenar Santos and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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/region’s 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.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1991, more than sixty executives and experts met in Alexandria, Virginia to outline a ten year Action Plan for District Heating, Cooling and Cogeneration (DHC/C). Attendees represented industry, government, non-profit associations, and academia. Their challenge was to develop a series of goals and actions that can "Make DHC/C a major contributor to the energy security, environmental quality and economy of the United States within the next decade." The Action Plan that emerged from the meeting charts an aggressive long-term strategy for the achievement of four primary goals: a credible foundation, a competitive position, an effective presence, a fair policy climate. The Action Plan describes general steps and responsibilities to reach these goals. Participants in the Plan's formative workshop are listed at the end of this document. A Work Program that schedules specific activities during 1992-1993 will be completed in the Spring of 1992.

Download or read book A Handbook on Low Energy Buildings and District Energy Systems written by L.D. Danny Harvey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of Choice Magazine - Outstanding Academic Titles for 2007 Buildings account for over one third of global energy use and associated greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Reducing energy use by buildings is therefore an essential part of any strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and thereby lessen the likelihood of potentially catastrophic climate change. Bringing together a wealth of hard-to-obtain information on energy use and energy efficiency in buildings at a level which can be easily digested and applied, Danny Harvey offers a comprehensive, objective and critical sourcebook on low-energy buildings. Topics covered include: thermal envelopes, heating, cooling, heat pumps, HVAC systems, hot water, lighting, solar energy, appliances and office equipment, embodied energy, buildings as systems and community-integrated energy systems (cogeneration, district heating, and district cooling). The book includes exemplary buildings and techniques from North America, Europe and Asia, and combines a broad, holistic perspective with technical detail in an accessible and insightful manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term district heating refers to a system of centralised heat production and distribution, typically for urban areas. This publication examines the benefits of district heating, particularly for transition economies, in terms of economic development, environmental aspects, energy security and sustainability, as well as considering policy options and priorities that individual countries can adapt to their own needs. Although it focuses on the countries of the former Soviet Union, Central and South East Europe, the discussion of policy issues can be applied in many other OECD countries.
