Summary
What challenges lie ahead in the transition of conventional district heating systems and is district heating the future of urban heating in Europe? The vision of the development of Novi Sad Heating Plant, a regional leader by achieved performance indicators, can provide some of the answers.
Global District Energy Trends
District heating systems, developed mainly in eastern European countries, have been advertised over the past few years as the future of urban heating in Europe. We have been witnessing a speedy transition of conventional district heating systems into 4th generation district energy systems.
The 4th generation of district heating (4GDH) is a coherent technological and institutional concept which uses smart heating networks to ensure the development of sustainable energy systems, and involves the integration of all available heat sources into a single network (waste heat from industry, heat from renewable energy sources, cogeneration, etc.) to supply heating and cooling energy to low-energy buildings, with low losses and high energy efficiency.
