This Final Report (Volume 2) of Phase 1 of District Heating for Communities Through Power Plant Retrofit Distribution Network contains 3 tasks: (1) Demonstration Team; (2) Identify Thermal Energy Sources and Potential Service Areas; and (3) Energy Market Analysis. Task 2 consists of estimating the thermal load within 5 and 10 miles of Public Service Electric and Gas Company steam power plants, Newark, New Jersey; estimating the costs of supplying thermal services to thermal loads of varying densities; a best case economic analysis of district heating for single-family homes; and some general comments on district-heating system design and development. Task 3 established the potential market for district heating that exists within a 5-mile radius of the selected generating stations; a sample of the questionnaire sent to the customers are shown.
