Abstract

The paper presents a model of an ideal district heating system, inspired by the electricity system model. With this background, the Warsaw district heating system is shown as an example. The paper considers also problems associated with the implementation of an ideal system. Particular attention is drawn to the conditions and effects of the entry of a new CHP into an existing system seeing as excess generation capacities do not decrease, but in fact increase the price of heat for consumers. Identified in the paper are also the roles and capabilities of local governments with respect to the development of district heating markets.
