Economic Benefit Evaluation of Energy Pile‑based Bridge Deck Snow Melting System
The bridge deck snow melting system based on energy piles utilizes clean and green geothermal energy for snow melting and de-icing on roads
thereby reducing carbon emissions
which aligns with China's development direction under the "dual carbon" strategy. In the process of technological implementation
design optimization is crucial for cost reduction. Through numerical simulation methods
the paper studied the heat production of the system in different climate zones in China and calculated the heat required for snow melting on bridge decks under three different levels of snow melting targets. Additionally
a cost estimation model was established to analyze the most cost-effective energy pile-based snow melting scheme for representative cities in each climate zone. Based on this model
calculation software was developed to simplify the application process. The results showed that the construction and installation costs of the bridge deck and heat pump costs had the greatest impact on the overall costs in short-term operations. However
in the long run
electricity prices became the most critical factor. With changes in heat flux demand
the total cost increase in electricity-based snow melting system was about twice that of energy pile-based system. In harsh climates and with more stringent snow melting targets
the relative saving curve of the energy pile-based snow melting system was steeper
showing significant advantages. Moreover
national policy support can offset the high initial investment cost of this system
enhancing its market competitiveness.
