Advanced Exergy Analysis of Waste-Based District Heating Options through Case Studies

The heating of the buildings, together with domestic hot water generation, is responsible for half total generated energy, which consumes final energy demand. Meanwhile, district systems are a powerful option to meet this demand, their significant potential and experience accumulated over many years. work described here deals conventional advanced exergy performance assessments system, using four different waste heat sources by exhaust gas potentials selected plants (municipal solid cogeneration, thermal power, wastewater treatment, cement production), real-time data group based on numerical investigations. simulated results analysis revealed that priority should be given exchanger (HE)-I, efficiency values from 0.39 0.58, followed HE-II pump those 0.48 0.78 0.81 0.82, respectively. On other hand, indicated destruction was mostly avoidable (78.32–78.56%) unavoidable exchangers (66.61–97.13%). determined mainly originated component itself (endogenous), (97.50–99.45%) (69.80–91.97%). When implementation considered, functional entire system obtained linearly inversely proportional pipeline length average ambient temperature,
