The article is devoted to topical issues related to the storage, accumulation and transportation of heat by stationary and mobile heat storage. Analysis of the current state of the district heating system indicates significant heat losses at all stages of providing the consumer with heat. The use of heat storage in heat supply systems leads to balancing the heat supply system, namely, the peak load is reduced; heat production schedules are optimized by accumulating excess energy and using it during emergency outages; heat losses caused by uneven operation of thermal equipment during heat generation are reduced; the need for primary energy and fuel consumption is reduced, as well as the amount of harmful emissions into the environment. The main focus is on mobile thermal batteries (M-TES). The use of M-TES makes it possible to build a completely new discrete heat supply system without the traditional pipeline transport of the heat carrier. The defining parameters affecting the efficiency of the M-TES are the reliability and convenience of the design, the efficiency and volume of the “working fluid”, the operating temperature of the MTA recharging and the distance of transportation from the heat source to the consumer. The article contains examples of the implementation of mobile heat accumulators in the world and in Ukraine, their technical and technological characteristics, scope and degree of efficiency. The technical indicators of the implemented project for the creation of a mobile heat accumulator located in a 20-foot container and intended for transportation by any available means of transport are given.

The possibility of a comprehensive assessment of the efficiency of the operation of a district heating system based on the indicator of the overall efficiency of the equipment OEE (overall equipment efficiency) and its extension to the system as a whole is considered. The disunity of the direction of existing approaches in assessing the efficiency of operation of district heating systems does not allow a comprehensive assessment of the overall efficiency of the functioning of the technological sequence of the entire system. It is proposed to consider efficiency as the probability of full functioning of all elements of the heat supply system. It is shown that the heat output of the boiler house is proportional to the power consumption of the boiler house and is approximated by a periodic function. It is shown that the main element of the heat supply system, which determines its efficiency, is the heat-generating source. As a result of the study, it is determined that the efficiency of the heat-generating source functioning increases as the maximum value of its efficiency is reached. Numerical modeling has shown that the flexible use of the installed heat generator capacity contributes to an increase in the efficiency factor from 0.53 to 0.70 and the overall efficiency of the heat supply system can be increased by more than 30 %. When designing a boiler house, it was recommended to provide for the installation of capacities with gradation 1; 0.5; 0.25. It is shown that the OEE indicator allows one to characterize the efficiency of both the heat supply system as a whole and its individual components, and can be used in the design and analysis of the operation of systems

The effect is discussed between operating parameters of District Heat Supply System and injector geometry by calculation. It is illustrated that heat supply load affects injector geometry worst, and suction fluid temperature has great impact on injector’s area ratio, while pressure loss of system offers no effects on diffuser geometry of injector.

The pricing of thermal energy is an important component of the efficient operation of the heat supply system. The article deals with the calculation of the cost of heat for consumers and producers of heat as based on the optimization problem of operation modes of the heat supply system with its further reduction to the conditions of optimality. The latter is to be achieved on the basis of the Lagrange function, with undetermined Lagrange multipliers obtained in the calculation process to be interpreted as nodal (marginal) prices of heat. This approach allows one to determine the pricing at each node. Based on the calculation of nodal prices of heat we determine the cost of heat transportation. Backed by the methodological tools developed, we have performed a demonstration of the calculation of nodal prices of heat and developed an algorithm for calculation of nodal prices of heat generation and consumption and overall technical and economic performance indicators of the heat supply system.

Abstract. The paper presents the description and operating principle of energy-saving mini-grain dryers for drying small grain batches on farms using conductive and convective drying methods and the process of grain cooling with heat obtained from a traditional heat source and a heat carrier prepared with a solar collector or a charged heat storage. (Research purpose) To develop and study a compact energy-saving grain dryer, with a heat supply system based on both a traditional source and a heat transfer fluid heated by a solar collector or a charged heat storage. (Materials and methods) The authors have carried out experimental studies of the drying process of wheat grain to determine the effectiveness of the developed unit for grain drying; the main condition for saving energy has been taken as the minimization of the total unit cost of the evaporation of one kilogram of moisture. (Results and discussion) The authors have conducted a two-factor experiment to determine the main optimal parameters affecting the grain drying process - the speed of grain movement in the conductive chamber and the temperature of the heating surface of its casing based on the calculated mathematical model. In the first variant, the drying process was carried out only by the conductive method using the heat from a traditional energy source. In the second variant, the drying was carried out by successive use of conductive and convective methods, and the grain was cooled using both thermal energy received from a traditional source and solar radiation heat along with the heat of the spent heat carrier. (Conclusions) The study has revealed that the most effective option in terms of saving thermal energy is grain drying with the consistent use of conductive and convective drying methods followed by grain cooling. The heat supply of the drying unit was partially carried out by using the heat of solar radiation and the heat obtained from the spent coolant recycling. In this optimal variant, the heat consumption for evaporation of one kilogram of moisture from the grain is minimal and amounts to 1.53-2.50 MJ per kilogram with a grain movement speed of in the dryer of 0.007-0.011 m per second and a heating surface temperature of 85-91 degrees Celsius.

In order for economically viable distributed generation systems for local community to spread, it is essential to develop an efficient and low-cost heat supply system. We propose a new heat supply system called DREAMS (Distributed Residential Energy with Advanced Management System). The key technology for the system is to connect compact heat supply units installed in all the households of the local community, such as a condominium, by a single loop of hot water piping. Two methods to decrease the heat supply rate through the single loop are proposed in this paper. The one is an utilization of a compact heat supply unit with heat storage in each house. The momentary heat demand can be covered by the heat storage. The other is a tap water preheating. A new CO2 regenerative heat pump cycle was proposed for the recover of the low temperature heat from the generator. A new heat supply unit with a practical capacity was manufactured, and the heat supply performance was evaluated by some experiments. Furthermore, an advanced energy management system has been under consideration to realize the effective system operation by utilizing IT. In this paper, experimental results on the performance of the new heat supply unit, the new CO2 heat pump system and evaluation of the energy-saving effect of our DREAMS are presented.
