The state of the district heatingnetworks of Tallinn is typical for the rest of Est<strong>on</strong>ian DHnetworks. The paper includes analysis of the Tallinndistrict heating networks. Valid data about damages indistrict heating systems received for the last 12 yearswere used for an analysis of the networks damages.Different types of network damages are analysed:external corrosi<strong>on</strong>, internal corrosi<strong>on</strong>, defect ofinstallati<strong>on</strong>, factory defects, defect of c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong>other reas<strong>on</strong>s. The number of damages for the differentelements of networks is compared in the paper:armature, compensator, c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> <strong>and</strong> pipes. Mainfactors, which influence damages in district heatingnetworks, are the age of networks, the quality ofc<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> works <strong>and</strong> the network operati<strong>on</strong>c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s.The damage quantity dependence <strong>on</strong> the age ofnetworks is also defined <strong>and</strong> analysed in the paper.The number of damages can be diminished byreducing the average age of networks. This is possibleby replacing old pipelines <strong>and</strong> other network systemelements. Pipes average age changes for 20 yearsperiod are simulated according different intensities ofrenovati<strong>on</strong> works.INTRODUCTION<strong>District</strong> heating (DH) allows centralized heat producti<strong>on</strong>for an area <strong>and</strong> hot water transportati<strong>on</strong> to the buildingsthrough a network of pipes. <strong>District</strong> heating systemsoffer the potential to use energy-efficient <strong>and</strong>renewable heat generati<strong>on</strong> technologies, such ascogenerati<strong>on</strong> technologies which implement both fossilfuels, as l<strong>on</strong>g as biomass <strong>and</strong> waste [1]. <strong>District</strong>heating system is traditi<strong>on</strong>al in Est<strong>on</strong>ia. It has formedapproximately 70 per cent of all heating in the country.The share of heat produced by combined heat <strong>and</strong>power producti<strong>on</strong> stati<strong>on</strong>s is approximately <strong>on</strong>e third. Atthe same time, the technical situati<strong>on</strong> of the districtheating networks (<strong>and</strong> producti<strong>on</strong> equipment) is poor.[2] Unsatisfactory c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> of DH networks <strong>and</strong>unreliable heat supply can doubt <strong>on</strong> future of districtheating <strong>and</strong> the c<strong>on</strong>sumers can make a choice towardsa different heat supply alternative. Often thedecentralized heating is not an effective soluti<strong>on</strong> forregi<strong>on</strong>al heat supply strategy <strong>and</strong> it decreases potentialof combined heat <strong>and</strong> power producti<strong>on</strong>.[3].Nowadays DH systems operate both in big cities <strong>and</strong> insmall towns, which means, that there is enough heatload for the installati<strong>on</strong> of new cogenerati<strong>on</strong> equipment.But before new energy sources installati<strong>on</strong> it isimportant to define <strong>and</strong> analyse the situati<strong>on</strong> with DHnetworks.The purpose of this paper is to define the validc<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> of typical old networks in Est<strong>on</strong>ia, to definethe reas<strong>on</strong>s of damage occurrence <strong>on</strong> the basis ofoperati<strong>on</strong>al data <strong>and</strong> to make forecasts for operati<strong>on</strong> ofa DH network for the next 20 years. The paper includesanalysis of Tallinn district heating networks. The validdata about damages in district heating systemscollected during past 12 years was used for analysis ofnetworks damages.THE PRESENT CONDITION OF TALLINN DISTRICTHEATING SYSTEM<strong>District</strong> heating networks in Est<strong>on</strong>ia are mostly old <strong>and</strong>in bad c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>. The state of the district heatingnetworks of Tallinn is typical for the rest of Est<strong>on</strong>ian DHnetworks. In Tallinn the heat is transmitted to thec<strong>on</strong>sumers through a 406-kilometres l<strong>on</strong>g heatingnetwork including the 93 km of pre-insulated pipes(23%). <strong>District</strong> heating systems of Tallinn werec<strong>on</strong>structed mostly during the 1960-1980 period <strong>and</strong>their average age is 22 years.The AS Tallinna Küte enterprise makes operati<strong>on</strong> ofthe bigger part of district heating networks <strong>and</strong> boilerhousesof Tallinn.<strong>District</strong> heating systems of Tallinn c<strong>on</strong>sist of fivedistricts of the central heat supply: Kesklinna district(total length ~92 km, length <strong>on</strong> the balance ofAS Tallinna Küte ~76 km), Lääne district (total length~162 km, length <strong>on</strong> the balance of AS Tallinna Küte~141 km), Lääne district local networks (total length~12 km, length <strong>on</strong> the balance of AS Tallinna Küte~11 km), Lasnamäe district (total length ~114 km,length <strong>on</strong> the balance of AS Tallinna Küte ~106 km),277

[4]<strong>District</strong> heating systems of the areas Kesklinna <strong>and</strong>Lasnamäe are c<strong>on</strong>nected through the pump stati<strong>on</strong>Laagna. The total length of heating networks is 406 kmfrom which <strong>on</strong> the balance of AS Tallinna Küte thereare 348 km, or 85,7%.The following CHP stati<strong>on</strong>s <strong>and</strong> boiler-houses supplyheat to the districts of Tallinn: the CHP Iru (natural gas,190 MWel, 748 MWth), the boiler house Ülemiste(natural gas, 232 MWth); the CHP Väo (wood chips, 25MWel, 65 MWth); the boiler house Mustamäe (naturalgas, 390 МWth); the boiler house Kadaka (natural gas,290 MWth).Besides the abovementi<strong>on</strong>ed there are some smallscaleboiler houses. In Fig. 1 is displayed the basicscheme of Tallinn heat supply.<strong>District</strong> heating systems of Tallinn were c<strong>on</strong>structedmostly during the 1960–1980 period <strong>and</strong> their averageage is 22 years.Mustamäeboiler-house390 MW390 MWKadakaboiler-house290 MWÜlemisteboiler-house232 MW(in reserve)Iru CHP748 MW (190 MW)Laagnapump stati<strong>on</strong>200 MWMustamäe network325 MWKesklinnanetwork180 MWLasnamäenetwork268 MWMaardunetworkVäo CHP65 MWThe state of DH networks varies for the differentdistricts of Tallinn.In Lasnamäe the c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> of district heatingsystems began in 1970, <strong>and</strong> the network length is~106 km at present time. Assuming the actual load theheating systems of Lasnamäe district are the mostoverloaded in town.The length of main pipelines DN1000–1200 is ~19 km,the length of pipes DN400-800 is ~4,4 km. The share ofthe main networks is quite big <strong>and</strong> it is ~22% of totalnetwork length in Tallinn. Thermal isolati<strong>on</strong> is made ofglass wool according to old soviet building norms <strong>and</strong> itis the reas<strong>on</strong> of big heat losses in the network. Theheat losses in Lasnamäe network in 2008 were 21%from the total produced heat.The interc<strong>on</strong>nected district heating systems of boilerhousesMustamäe, Kadaka <strong>and</strong> Karjamaa (not inoperati<strong>on</strong> at present time) are related to the Lääne areaFig. 1 The basic scheme of Tallinn district heating system278(districts Mustamäe <strong>and</strong> Õismäe). Initially there hadbeen two separate networks which were merged later<strong>on</strong> as a result of growth. In the area Lääne thec<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> of district heating systems began in 1960.The length of the Lääne area network is ~141 km. Thediameters of the main pipelines are less than those inthe Lasnamäe area.The length of the main pipelines with diameterDN400–900 is ~27,8 km. The heat losses of thenetwork in 2008 were 16% from the total producedheat.The speciality about the heating system of the areaLääne is that in past there was an open system of hotwater supply. The water added to the system had notime to purify sufficiently <strong>and</strong> oxygen <strong>and</strong> waterhardness led to an intensive internal corrosi<strong>on</strong> of pipes.In Kesklinn area the network c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> began in1959. Initially the heat supply was carried out by the
