Thermal Energy in Ukraine in 2005–2013
Journal Title: Проблеми загальної енергетики - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Based on the analysis of statistics of thermal energy production, supply and consumption in Ukraine in 2005–2013 and using different statistical reporting forms, the real figures of thermal energy production and consumption have been substantiated. In addition, the volumes of heat production by individual low-power heat generators are substantiated on the basis of statistics of the sale of fuel (natural gas, coal, firewood, peat, etc.) to population, consumption of other energy resources (not taken into statistical account fuel (shadow fuel), biogas, solar power, household wastes, etc.) and also the use of electric power for obtaining heat at enterprises, in utilities sector and households. The main thermal energy sources in the centralized heat supply system still remain electric power plants, heating boiler plants and various heat utilization processes.The percentage of heat supply provided by these sources in the total volume of heat consumption covered by statistics constantly decreases and lies in the interval from 67% (in 2005) to 51% (in 2013). It was shown that in the accounting period heat pump systems began to play a significant role in heat supply; they accounted for 3.5% of thermal energy produced in 2005 and up to 20% in 2013. The volumes of thermal energy produced by decentralized systems were also substantiated. It should be noted that the percentage of this energy in 2013 amounted to almost 50% of the total thermal energy consumed by customers. In future the replacement of natural gas boilers with heat pump systems will make it possible to materially improve the heat supply and change the energy balance in the direction of reducing the natural gas consumption.
