MANAGEMENT OF HEATING SYSTEMS USING MEDIUM POWER BOILERS
Keywords:
district heating, medium power boilers, Colterm, managementAbstract
Even if district heating represents currently the cheapest solution in production of thermal energy, this fact does not reflect in the preferences of Romanian consumers. In order to meet up the consumers’ demands, a set of actions of resizing and management of the heating system should be performed. These actions should be taken according to the SWOT analysis of the district heating systems. The current paper will outline a SWOT analysis of the Romanian district heating systems. Further, we will compare these systems to similar district heating systems which exist around the world and to outline a set of actions to be performed in order to improve the efficiency of the corresponding management process. The case study refers to the local district heating company, Colterm SA.
