Abstract: This paper investigates the characteristics of interaction between district heating (DH) systems and the electricity system, induced by present and future price curves of the electricity system. A mixed integer linear programming unit commitment model has been developed with the objective of studying optimal operating strategies for DH systems. The model minimises the total operating cost of heat generation for a given DH system, which in this work is exemplified by the DH system of Göteborg, Sweden. The results should have important implications for operating strategies for DH systems as a response to future electricity price development.
