Karpenko D. Development of scientific bases for thermal energy markets implementation in heat supply systems.

In the dissertation the author developed scientific principles of construction and functioning of local thermal energy markets within the existing heat supply systems of Ukrainian cities, and proposed structural schemes of relations between the subjects of the local thermal energy market and the corresponding distribution of their areas of responsibility, functional structure of markets. means of functioning of local thermal energy markets. The basic principles of the model of the local heat market are determined, on the basis of which the methods and means of estimating the implementation of the local thermal energy markets are developed. Formalization and simulation of the local heat market have been developed, in which the ownership of the main vertically integrated heat supply company is distributed among relatively independent enterprises for production and transportation of heat (unbundling) with free access to heat networks to independent heat producers, which allows to quantify economically feasible potential to increase the efficiency of the market. A method of distribution of thermal energy production for producers - participants of the local thermal energy market has been developed, which allows to determine the optimal distribution of thermal energy production between their heat generation facilities. The results of the dissertation can be further used in assessing the feasibility of local heat markets and allow individually for each existing heating system to determine ways of implementation and ways of functioning of the market. The results of the work were implemented by the state enterprise Derzhavtotransndiproekt to increase the efficiency of the thermal energy source within the framework of market relations. Keywords: local market of thermal energy, system of heat supply, thermal energy, market efficiency, sphere of heat energy.
