New rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy

Постановление правительства от 18 ноября). In 2013, the Rules for the Commercial Accounting of Thermal Power were approved (1304 Government Decree of November 18). Federal executive structures were obliged to bring their legal documents into compliance with it within three months from the time of the enactment of the normative act. The Ministry of Housing and Communal Services and Construction had to establish a methodology for conducting commercial accounting within two weeks. After 3 years after the adoption of the above-mentioned normative act, some additions were made to it. г. We will next consider the new Rules for Commercial Accounting for Thermal Energy in 2016 .

General Provisions

определяют: New rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy, heat carrier determine:

1. Requirements for instruments.
2. Characteristics to be measured. Indicators are used to provide quality control of service.
3. Procedure for determining the volume of supplies.
4. Peculiarities of distribution of losses of heat energy, coolant in the absence of accounting devices at the boundaries of adjacent heating systems.

Objectives

направлены на обеспечение: The new rules for commercial heat metering are aimed at ensuring:

1. Calculations between service enterprises and consumers.
2. Control of modes of operation of feeding systems and consuming installations.
3. Supervision of the rational use of raw materials.
4. Documenting the indicators of equipment (pressure, volume, mass, temperature).

Features of the methodology

г. предписывают использование специальных приборов. The rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy in 2016 prescribe the use of special devices. They are installed at points located on the boundaries of the balance sheet. Another site may be provided for in the contract for the supply, supply or transfer of heat energy (heat carrier). Servicing enterprises can not require consumers to install other devices or additional devices not provided for in the regulatory enactment.

Rules for the organization of commercial metering of thermal energy

To achieve the objectives indicated above, the following are implemented:

1. Obtaining technical conditions.
2. Designing and installation of accounting devices.
3. Putting the unit into operation.
4. Use of instruments. The operation, among other things, includes regular readings from the devices.
5. Verification, repair, replacement of devices.

Explanations

предписывают оборудовать узлы в местах, максимально приближенных к границам балансовой принадлежности. The rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy prescribe to equip the units in places as close as possible to the boundaries of the balance sheet. At the same time, real opportunities at the site must be taken into account. Provision of technical conditions for the installation of devices, their commissioning, sealing, as well as participation in the commission for the acceptance of nodes are made without charging users fees. On the sources the devices are installed on each output of the network.

Device readings

закрепляют порядок сбора сведений с приборов. The rules for commercial accounting of thermal energy fix the procedure for collecting information from devices. In this case, a list of mandatory indications is established. They include:

1. The amount of transported, received, delivered heat energy in the composition of hot water.
2. Number and duration of violations in the functioning of devices.
3. Other data provided by technical documents and displayed by devices.

предписывают осуществлять сбор указанных сведений потребителям либо обслуживающим предприятиям, если другое не устанавливается договором между ними. The rules for the commercial recording of thermal energy prescribe the collection of the said information to consumers or service enterprises, unless otherwise stipulated by an agreement between them.

Timing

обязывают потребителей или обслуживающие компании предоставлять предприятиям, осуществляющим водоотведение/водоснабжение, снятые на 1-е число показания с приборов не позднее 2-го дня месяца, который следует за расчетным. The rules for the commercial accounting of thermal energy oblige consumers or service companies to provide water drainage / water supply companies with first-placed indications from the devices no later than the 2nd day of the month that follows the calculated one. Other terms may be established by law. Information about the current testimony is provided within two days (working) from the date of the relevant request. The direction of information is carried out by any available method, including by e-mail, which allows to confirm its receipt.

Act of reconciliation

It is documented during the inspection when there are discrepancies between the actual indications and the data provided by the consumer or the servicing company. The reconciliation act must be signed by the representative of the supply company or the end user. In the event of their disagreement with the content of the document, it is marked "Acquainted" and certified by painting. Objections of a network enterprise or consumer may be indicated in the act or sent by a separate letter to the supplying organization. In case of refusal to sign the document, it must contain a corresponding note. The reconciliation act serves as the basis for the recalculation of the volume of supplies of the coolant, heat energy from the date of signing.

Parallel devices

They can be used by a network company or a consumer to control the amount of heat supplied. In this case, the second side must be notified of the installation of such devices. The devices are located on sites that allow for commercial accounting. If the differences in the readings of parallel and main instruments are detected more than the permissible measurement error for a period equal to not less than one accounting month, the persons who installed the monitoring equipment may require the second party to perform an extraordinary verification.

Settlement procedure

Commercial accounting in this way is allowed when:

1. Absence in control points of main instruments.
2. Violation of the contractual deadlines for submitting information from devices owned by consumers.
3. Faults in the main unit.

The settlement method is also used in case of unconditional delivery of heat energy, heat carrier.

Determination of consumption

The amount of heat energy, heat carrier, which were supplied by the source, is expressed in the sum of the indicators for each pipeline (make-up, return and supply). The volume is determined by the supplying enterprise in accordance with the indications of the devices for the billing period. In some cases, in order to determine the delivery quantity, it is necessary to measure the temperature of the cold water at the source. In such situations, the introduction of an appropriate indicator into the calculator is allowed as a constant. At the same time, recalculation of consumption volume should be periodically carried out taking into account the actual temperature. Allowed the introduction of a zero indicator t during the year.

Actual temperature

For a heat carrier, it is determined by a single supply company in accordance with the monthly average values at the heat source. The relevant information is provided by their owners. Within the supply limits, the actual monthly averages of t are the same for all users. The frequency of recounting is established by the contract. For hot water, the actual temperature is determined by the enterprise operating the central thermal area. For this, cold water values are measured directly before the heaters. The frequency of recalculation is also established by the contract.

Methodology

It allows you to:

1. The organization of the commercial account in networks, on a source and the coolant.
2. Determination of the volume of consumption. It includes the amount of heat energy, coolant, tempered, received, as well as consumed in the absence of accounting for instruments.
3. Determination of volume for non-contractual consumption.
4. Distribution of heat losses.

During the operation of the devices during an incomplete period, a flow adjustment is necessary. In the absence of control devices at the accounting points or when they function for more than 15 days. The determination of the amount of heat energy used for heating and ventilation is made by calculation, based on the recalculation of the basic indicator of the change in t of the outside air.
