Common heating of villages
The analysis of Local Village Heating has shown that the concept can be the most feasible common heating system for villages provided that there is a high building density, at least one large heat consumer, and that the number of buildings/households in the village is less than approx. 100.
The project will demonstrate a new concept for the introduction of a local and common heat supply in smaller cities and villages which are located outside normal district heating areas. This project is the phase 1 of 2. Phase 1 is an initial feasibility study of the concept and phase 2 will demonstrate and validate the results from phase 1. The central point for the concept is the heat connection of the houses in the villages through a ring shaped heat distribution pipe system and, initially, connection to and utilizing the existing heat supply units within the village. The project will evaluate the technical, economic and legal feasibilities of the concept. In the working process, one or more representative villages will be selected and subjected to: • Detailed mapping of heat consumption. • Mapping of existing heat supply sources, such individual boilers, heat pumps, solar panels etc. • Preparation of economically attractive technical solutions to the inter connection of consumers and the existing heat production units. • Proposals for legal guidelines for the production and the consumption of heat: Supply security, pricing etc. During the whole process, engagement and correspondence with the local inhabitants will have very high priority. The project results will be used by the relevant project partners to form a standardized product package of technical solutions and legal guidelines which initially will be marketed on a national scale
Local Village Heating relates to smaller villages which are located outside existing or
planned district heating areas.
The analysis phase of Local Village Heating has shown that the concept can be the most feasible
common heating system for villages that:
1. has a high building density – the buildings must be placed close together
2. at least one large heat consumer, school, elder home or company is present in the village.
3. the number of buildings/households in the village is less than approx. 100.
The analysis has shown that is theoretical possible to establish a controlling system for the combined
supplier/consumer option and an overall system for prioritising the primary heat suppliers.
A feasible Local Village Heating organisation could be a cooperative similar to other supply systems,
such as common water supply and waste water cooperative.
