Abstract
In Tokyo, there are 21 incineration plants which can be considered as unutilized energy sources. However, in many cases, these unutilized energy sources and thermal demand locations are widely separated. Therefore, in order to harness unutilized energy, heat must be transferred to distant demand locations by some form of transportation. As a solution to such spatial restrictions. this study proposes the consolidation of incineration plants to enhance the effective utilization of waste heat. Specifi cally, 15 incineration plants in Tokyo are consolidated by the consolidation process, the amount of utilizable waste heat from the consolidating incineration plants in the Tokyo bay is calculated. and Improvement of effi ciency in waste heat utilization for district heating and cooling by consolidation of incineration plants is estimated.
