Comparison of a district heating system operation based on actual data – Omsk city, Russia, case study
A district heating (DH) system in the Russian city of Omsk has been considered as a case study. This study is based on the data set of temperature and demand recorded over two-year operation of the DH system. We provide an insight on how the heat demand profile is met by the control framework.

description | A district heating (DH) system in the Russian city of Omsk has been considered as a case study. This study is based on the data set of temperature and demand recorded over two-year operation of the DH system. We provide an insight on how the heat demand profile is met by the control framework. The paper quantifies the DH system performance by using heat load curves, maximum, minimum and average values of temperature, paving the way for a modelling approach. Central heating process in Omsk in 2017 was generally smoother than in 2016, while peak values are also lower. In 2017, its supply temperature was about 5°C closer to the control curve. The dispersion of the points was reduced between 2016 and 2017, especially at higher outdoor temperatures. Further lowering annual and peak heat demand, which are respectively 4% and 9% lower in 2017 should be a priority in future. |
