Thermoeconomic Analysis Based on Energy Structure for CHP
Résumé
This paper proposes a unified comparison method for the calculations of thermodynamic efficiencies applied to combined heat and power (CHP) plants. Two new dimensionless indices are introduced. They are used to estimate the influence of technical and economical features on the profitability of a CHP plant. A case of a CHP installation by internal combustion engine is treated as a practical application.
