Abstract

An overview is presented of information on the technical and economic characteristics of the most feasible district heating and cooling (DHC) projects selected by 25 of the 28 cities. The physical characteristics of potential service areas and associated energy demands to be supplied by the DHC systems are described. The technical aspects of the DHC system heat sources and supply networks are presented. The economics of the projects are discussed and energy consumption characteristics are listed. (MHR)

District heating and cooling: a 28-city assessment

Technical Report Meshenberg, M

Findings of a project that assessed the potential for construction of district heating and cooling (DHC) systems in 28 US cities are presented. The project sought to determine whether DHC could promote local community and economic development. In the preliminary assessment, 17 of the cities identified up to 23 projects that could be built within three to five years. Most of these projects would rely on nonscarce heat sources such as refuse or geothermal energy, and to improve financial feasibility, the majority would cogenerate electricity along with heat. Many would use existing power plants or industrial boilers to hold downmore »« less

District heating and cooling in Provo, Utah. Volume 1. Strategy assessment

Technical Report Kron, Jr, N; Reddy, N; Kennedy, A; ...

Provo, Utah, is one of 28 cities selected by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development to participate in a study of the economic and community-development benefits of implementing a district heating and cooling (DHC) system. A number of DHC options for Provo were studied with the help of the Argonne District Heating Strategy Model. The model was used to analyze demand configuration and supply options. Two economically acceptable DHC systems were recommended for further study in Provo; one is a cogeneration system based on the city's power plant and the other is a noncogeneration system with heat suppliedmore »« less
National district-heating program: generic city district-heating and cooling system from cogeneration retrofit

Technical Report Davis, H; Grammel, S; Kuzanek, J; ...

A study, designed to aid in evaluating the feasibility of a district heating and cooling system that uses heat supplied by existing electric generating plants retrofitted for cogeneration, is presented. Based on thermal demands of a metropolitan area, the District Heating and Cooling System (DHCS) model estimates the cost of the retrofit. Environmental impact and the potential for scarce-fuel savings also are assessed by this model. The computer program used is the District Heating Strategy Model (DHSM). Section 2 identifies metropolitan demand sectors and describes the data acquisition method. Section 3 defines thermal energy supply sources and shows how eachmore »« less
Technical and economic aspects of potential U. S. district heating systems

Conference Karkheck, J; Beardsworth, E; Powell, J

District heating stands as a means to conserve fossil fuel through more efficient utilization of these resources as a primary source of heat because it can supplant the application of fossil fuels to a great extent by utilizing waste heat from various sources. Of paramount interest as a source of waste heat are the steam electric generating plants, especially those powered by nuclear fission. Utilization of this by-product allows immediate cutback in fossil fuel consumption. It relieves the environment from bearing the burden of huge amounts of excess heat. It opens the supply of fossil fuels to more complex applicationsmore »« less

Summary of district heating and cooling project in Moorhead, Minnesota

Technical Report Kennedy, A; Reddy, G

The project proposed was to retrofit the municipal power plant of the Moorhead Public Service Department (PSD) to function as a cogeneration plant providing the heat source for a medium-temperature (225/sup 0/F), hot-water DHC system. Development of the system would proceed in five stages, beginning with service to Moorhead State University and Concordia College in 1984. Expansion to the central business district and other commercial, residential, and industrial areas would proceed in subsequent phases, with the entire system scheduled to be completed in 1989. The thermal capacity of the DHC system proposed for Moorhead could reach 60 to 100 MW/submore »« less
