DETERMINATION OF THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HEAT LOAD DURATION CURVE FOR A NEW ANALYTICAL MODEL

For a new analytical model of the heat load duration curve of a heat supply system, the problem of determining the full load duration, T_M  - for the whole curve as well as per considered time intervals, is addressed.  The proposed model offers a better quality of actual consumption curves approximation; it includes two components - a power function (Sochinsky-Rossander) and a modified logistic function for which, in essence, their integrals are searched for. Determination of T_M time duration allows calculating the load factor and the annual energy consumption.
