Abstract
In this paper, transportation problems of exhaust heat from incineration plants were analyzed by the linear programming method. This paper is composed of the following two parts. 1) A Mesh Model, which presents the information related to exhaust heat by each regional mesh, was developed and applied to the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. The information involves the value of objective function (the product of piping distance and heat transportation quantity), total piping distance and needed number of incineration plants. By the use of this model, strategic location of housing developments is made possible. 2) A Heat Storage Model, which calculates storaged value by unit time, was made and applied to 9 incineration plants in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. As a result, the effectiveness of heat storage in district heat supply plants has been confirmed.
