INFLUENCE OF TARIFF POLICY AND CROSS-SUBSIDING SYSTEM ON THE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF EQUIPMENT, CONVERSING ELECTRIC ENERGY TO HEAT

Abstract

The problem of building new energy-efficient residential buildings or increasing the energy efficiency of those that have already been built is considered to be an investment activity, when profitability depends on the tariffs set for heat and electricity. As one of the options for energy efficiency measures in residential energy-efficient buildings, it is proposed to use equipment that generates heat energy at the expense of electric energy. The efficiency of energy-efficient equipment for the generation of heat energy due to electrical energy is measured by the conversion factor. Under the conditions of a high proportion of subsidized tariffs for heat energy it is cheaper than electrical energy for the population. Disproportion in subsidizing tariffs for the population is expressed through the coefficient of differentiation of tariffs. The relationship between the conversion factor and the coefficient of differentiation of tariffs reflects the impact of energy-efficient measures.
