The use of district heating on a small Spanish village
There is general consensus that the effects from global warming combined with the imminent depletion of fossil fuels require radical changes on the design and operation of energy systems,with efficiency and renewable sources playing a key role on the achievement of sustainable energy.In this context,a number of small villages in Spain bear the potential to reduce their energy dependency on large centralised power plants by making better use of local renewable energy sources and even become small energy-independent communities.Towards this direction,the purpose of this work is to report on a case study for the Spanish village of Urue?a,located in the province of Valladolid,where according to the latest studies there are 160 houses and 224 inhabitants.To this end,this paper exemplifies the design of a district heating system based on the use of biomass as the primary energy source and presents the benefits in terms of sustainability of such an application.
