GIS based heat demand mapping: Case study for the city of Velika Gorica

Highly efficient cogeneration and district heating and cooling systems have a significant potential for primary energy savings which are still highly underutilized in most European countries. They can facilitate a higher share of renewable and excess heat utilization and if large scale heat pumps and electric heaters are integrated with cogeneration units and heat storage systems, a concept known as “power to heat”, the heating and power sectors can be explicitly integrated. Such an integration can achieve benefits on both sides. The economic feasibility for the implementation of new and the expansion of existing district heating systems is highly dependent on local conditions such as heat demand density, existing infrastructure, potential heat sources and so on. For this reason, Geographic Information System based analysis are exceptionally useful since they can analyse and visualise heat demand densities as well as their location compared with the existing infrastructure and potential sources. The goal of this work is to demonstrate this principle with an analysis on a case study for the city of Velika Gorica. qGIS has been used for this work.
