206 ADAPTATION OF THE HEAT RECOVERY CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR BIDIRECTIONAL HEATING SUBSTATION AND ANALYSIS OF ENERGY MARKET MODELS

The article examines the role of bidirectional heating substation in the formation of heat prosumers and the development of peer-to-peer (P2P) heat energy markets. The architecture of bidirectional heating substation, principles of heat flow management and models of consumer participation in decentralized heat energy trading are considered. The technical and economic efficiency of self-consumption, sharing and aggregation models is assessed, as well as the challenges associated with tariff policy, regulatory restrictions and consumer behavior. It is shown that the active role of prosumers can increase the energy efficiency and flexibility of heat networks in market conditions.
