Abstract
The aim was to prepare estimates of the future heat demand in Debrecen, Hungary, and to calculate the economic consequences of improvements of the district heating system. The energy consumption in the area is ca. 30% higher than in Denmark. It is estimated that two thirds of this difference can be saved over a 20 year period if energy prices and tariffs rise to world market levels, if consumers pay in accordance with consumption and if installations are improved. If cogeneration plants (115 MJ) are introduced, over a 20 year period the net present value of the total costs for investments, operation and maintenance will decrease from 116 to 80 million US dollars. If steam demand is included, the optimal size of the cogeneration unit would be ca. 140 MJ`s. This would further decrease net present value if steam demand remained stable. Improvements of the district heating network would decrease total costs by a further 10 million US dollars. The overall assessment of the district heating system is that existing production units, pipes and substations are in a reasonable condition, and that there is scope for further energy saving. Environmental considerations are discussed and detailed recommendations are given. Relevant market,

Relevant market, financial, and technical aspects are dealt with and principles of design and hydraulic calculations are presented in addition to a feasibility analysis. The latter gives an indication of which measures concerning the distribution system and heat consumption are economically viable and of the advantages of installing cogeneration plants as compared to retaining the use of existing boilers producing heat only.
