Feasibility of the Construction of
a Gas Distribution Network in Relation to<
Reduced Investment Requirements Within
the Electricity Network
The goal of the project is to develop and implement methods for unified gas and
electricity distribution network planning in the region of Baranja, Republic of Croatia.
Research involved the application of methods for determining energy demand
and economic feasibility of regional gas network development. These methods
were used to forecast the development of heat demand by sectors (housing,
industry and services); distribute demand onto individual cities and settlements;
develop preliminary projects and assess investment requirements; develop a gas
network model and assess the dynamics of natural gas penetration into each sector’s
heat market. The above is combined with a pre-determined set of economic
and financial acceptability criteria to determine the feasibility of investing into the
development of the gas network in cities and settlements. Finally, avoided costs
related to the construction of the electricity distribution network are determined
based on the reduction of electricity demand for heating purposes.
