The article considers the improvement of the centralized heat supply system (SCT) from Saransk CHP-2 by optimizing the calculated quantitative and qualitative parameters of the hydraulic regime due to circuit solutions (optimization of the thermal circuits of the CTP and etc.), including the distribution of thermal loads; the use of devices (installations) providing the expansion of the temperature schedule of heat supply to the network. This event will allow: to create the technical possibility of technological connection of a promising thermal load; to reduce specific fuel consumption by increasing the share of combined power generation at Saransk TPP-2; will ensure an increase in the utilization rate of the installed thermal capacity of Saransk TPP-2 to 45-50%.
