Estimation of heating methods economic efficiency for heat consumers (on the example of Sevastopol)

Abstract. Introduction. In modern conditions we constantly see the increasing of energy prices. So it is necessary to use rational the energy resources by heating enterprises. Purpose. Development an approach to evaluation the economic efficiency of heat supply methods of thermal energy. This approach takes into account the environmental component which aims to reduce energy consumption. Methods. Generalization the Ukrainian and foreign experience was used. Economic and environmental efficiency of heating methods were calculated. Results. In the article the economic and environmental indicators load transfer of heat supply companies on various types of heating systems on example of Sevastopol were calculated. It was shown that transition from centralized to individual heating saves 27.6% of the fuel (natural gas), which is 29.16 thousand m3, or 56.7 million m3 per year. Take into account, that there is a difference in gas tariffs for heating supply enterprises, the fuel economy when using individual heating will be amounted 27.56% a year. The energy costs will be reduced by 150 million UAH per year. Emissions of carbon monoxide will reduce by 76.8%, and nitrogen oxide – by 49.3% with decentralization of heat supply system. Conclusion. The research and data calculations that were undertaken revealed the economy and eco-efficiency of decentralized heating system in Sevastopol as an alternative heating method for heat consumers.
