Abstract

The centralized systems of heating that used to be considered one of the achievements of the Soviet power industry, are massively suffering chronic problems today. Decades of permanent insufficient repair as well as much below optimal modes of power generation have led to dramatic fall in operational efficiency of Central Heating and Power Plants. Quite often one hears opinions in the socio-political sphere about benefits of decentralized energy supply of large cities. In Novosibirsk, where 62% of heat energy production and 68% of energy delivery is done in a centralized mode by structures of the Siberian generating company, there are noticeable areas of autonomous energy supply. One of them is controlled by structures of PSK “Sibir” – OOO “Siberian generation” (production of heat and electric energy) and OOO “Energy networks of Siberia” (their delivery). On the scheme of heat supply of Novosibirsk these objects are separately shown as a system of centralized delivery (CHPP-3) that produces 1% of the total heat consumption of Novosibirsk. The director of “Energy networks of Siberia”, Victor Vladimirovich Golovkin will tell ECO about the origins of the system, its current operation and problems it encounters.
