Abstract

The climate changes and detailed analysis of the district heating system (DHS) in Tuzla pointed out the demand for revision of all the system. The first time we did the analyses of DHS Tuzla was 5 years ago. Through more survey and analyses which we have done in the past 5 y, it became clear that improving the efficiency of energy production, distribution and consumption will be a key method of climate change mitigation. We have decided to develop and utilize technical solutions by which the total thermal, temperature and electrical losses in district heating distribution systems can be further reduced. Besides technical solutions, it is necessary to develop sustainable development strategy and optimal management of the district heating system (Olofsson et al., 2013). Total energy savings in the last three heating season was 142,473 MWh. We had the best results in savings in the last season – 88,086 MWh. Implementation new technical solutions based on the first time analysis and new methodology in the system management made possible these results.
