Abstract
- The research paper is focused on how to choose the most suitable renewable energy solution using multi-criteria analysis for a district heating system. Making choices is based on indicators – economic, environmental and social. In this case, the study used five indicators: resources costs, totals investments, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, specific weight of renewable energy resources and impact on utilized land. Three situations have been compared – current situation: gas boiler, planned: solar collectors 21 595 m<superscript>2</superscript> + accumulation tank 8000 m<superscript>3</superscript> and alternatives: solar PV panels 5504 m<superscript>2</superscript> – heat pump COP 3 are used in the estimation. The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that solar collectors 21 595 m<superscript>2</superscript> + accumulation tank 8000 m<superscript>3</superscript> are considered as the best alternative. The methodology is based on choosing a solution for a district heating company in Latvia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
