Steam demand is set exogenously in POLES, although capped at a given share of total energy demand for heat purposes. Steam can be produced by CHP plants and steam-only plants, which inputs are accounted for in POLES within the "own use" of the energy sectorThe production of steam if not simulated explicitely. The model checks that the evolution of steam demand is consistent with the evolution of the "own use" of the energy sector and with the availability of "CHP compatible" power plants.
Other heat-related demand is satisified by boilers and heaters using other energy vectors (oil, gas, coal, biomass, electricity, solar heat).
