Abstract

The paper considers a single-buyer model of the oligopoly heat market. A mathematical model of the heat market is developed. It allows us to take into consideration economic and technical aspects of heating system’s operation. The problem of the determination of the Cournot-Nash equilibrium in the heat market at a linear demand function and nonlinear costs of heat sources is investigated and solved. To search for the Cournot-Nash market equilibrium we suggest an iterative algorithm based on step-by-step optimization of heat volumes produced by heat sources. The developed model was applied to perform practical studies on a heating system with two heat sources.

Conclusions

We formulated one of the possible approaches based on the Cournot model to solve the problem of the equilibrium search in the oligopoly heat market A distinctive feature of the approach lies in the fact that along with the problems traditionally solved for HSs, it makes it possible to consider physical-technical characteristics of heat network and economic factors, related to the costs of heat production and transportation. This approach allows to determine the best HS loading levels to meet a set demand for heat and to get the maximum profit, and also the conditions of minimum heat network costs to be met in the considered time period. Its graphical interpretation reflecting the search for the optimal heat production volumes is presented.
