The Technical-Economic Reasoning of using the Cogeneration Project, Current Situation of the Network and Possibility of Changing the Method of Metering Thermal Energy

Abstract

The City of Pristina has approximately 400,000 inhabitants and its own system of central heating, where production and distribution of thermal energy is carried out by a specialized company for district heating - PE "Termokos" j.s.c. It currently has a designed production of a total capacity of 116MW. Having in consideration the unaffordable increase of heavy oil price, rapid expansion of the city and old age of the current system, the district heating has completed the design and now has entered the project implementation cogeneration.
