Search for Cournot equilibrium on the heat energy market in the conditions of heat sources competitive behaviour

The “Single buyer” organizational model is considered on the market of heat energy. The mathematical model is developed, in which the corresponding to Nash equilibrium optimum load distribution among the heat sources is defined on the basis of Cournot approach. It is noted that the mathematical model allows to take into account the heat energy production and transportation costs as well as physical and technical properties of the heat supply systems. The heat supply system with three heat sources is examined using the model developed.
