Abstract: Centralized heating systems are being used increasingly to supply heat to the cities and towns of the U.S.S.R. These systems are usually based either on boilers of 50 MW or greater thermal capacity or on cogeneration (combined heat and power) plants. Cogeneration not only saves energy but also reduces air pollution and thermal pollution and raises labor productivity. In some new systems, not only baseload but also load-following power plants are being used for cogeneration, which allows improvements in the system-wide load factor for electricity. This paper outlines some of the characteristics of modern systems, including scale, layout, pipeline materials, and systems for control.
