Once the definition of the CHP certificate is clear, demand for it can be organised in several ways. A well-designed system of mandatory demand, by means of an obligation to acquire a certain amount of CHP certificates each year, is effective to meet the policy target. The voluntary willingness to pay for CHP certificates is likely to be small, resulting in a very thin market. Finally, instead ...

The gas-steam turbine combined cycle (GTCC) is the preferred power plant type because of its high efficiency and its use of cheap and clean natural gas as fuel. It is also the preferred type in the Arab Gulf countries where it is used as cogeneration power-desalting plant (CPDP). In this chapter, descriptions and analysis of the GTCC components are presented, namely, the gas turbine cycle (comp...

The present paper describes and analyses three proposed cogeneration plants include back pressure steam-turbine system, gas turbine diesel-engine the Dura refinery plant. Selected actual operating data are employed for analysis. same amount of electrical thermal product outputs is considered all systems to facilitate comparisons. theoretical analysis was done according 1st 2nd law thermodynamic...

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) are seeing as a solution to overcome the fluctuation and randomness of certain sources, such solar wind power. Coupling fluctuating sources with controllable biomass-fueled micro-cogeneration, constitute an HRES that significantly reduces CO2 emissions primary consumption. The purpose this work is review research works on hybrid based micro-cogeneration pr...

The aim of this study is to obtain a dynamic modelling and simulation of a Portuguese industrial integrated system composed of three different processes. This work includes the analysis of the optimal integration of the different units, and the study of the effect of some operational and atmospheric conditions on the system to maximize its global thermal efficiency. The cogeneration system was ...
