Objective
The aims of the project are:
* the definition of the actions and instruments for the development of cogeneration;
* the analysis of the obstacles to the development of cogeneration, in terms of prices and regulations, framework for contracts, right/obligations between autoproducers, the national grid and third parties;
* the proposal of a methodological approach to evaluate the demand of electricity which could be satisfied by cogeneration technologies.
* definition of the potential of cogeneration in different industrial sectors
* actions and instruments for the development of cogeneration
* analysis of the obstacles to the implementation of cogeneration
* simulation model to evaluate the alternative cogenerative solutions
The main objective of the project is the definition of the actions and instruments for the development of cogeneration through:
- the analysis of some industrial sectors which have a significant cogeneration potential;
- the analysis of system configuration for different technologies/industrial sectors;
- the identification of obstacles and incentives and the proposal of a methodology for the allocation of incentives.
Combined heat and power production has been widely recognized not only as a powerful source of energy saving but also a promising solution for reducing the environmental impact of energy production.
Moreover cogeneration is the technology of choice for autoproduction, in that it lends naturally to spatially distributed production system.
Still this potential is only partially exploited due to the presence of commercial and structural obstacles to the development of this type of energy production.
The first aim of this study is to analyze these obstacles in terms of prices and regulations, frame work for contracts, rights/obligations between autoproducers, the national grid and third parties. This analysis is conduded considering the three levels of national government, local government (e.g. regions in France and Italy) and industry sector.
The second main aim of this study is to propose a methodological approach to evaluate the demand of electricity which could be satisfied by cogeneration technologies. This methodology includes a simulation model to evaluate the alternative cogenerative solutions for a given industrial sector and a simple allocation model to help in the distribution of the incentives between alternative cogeneration opportunities.
