“…This issue is not new in the context of DH. An earlier study showed how such charges could result in higher payments for longer durations, even when utility services are used only for a limited period of time (Athawale and Felder, 2014). A normal capacity tariff is similar to an investment cost, meaning that the more it is used, the smaller the cost per unit.…”

“…By applying current economic conditions to the model plants, we test whether it is economically feasible to invest in flexible technologies in the Baltic countries. Earlier studies have addressed and modelled alternative policies for the operation of (Skytte et al, 2017) and investment in DH plants by taxation (Olsen and Munksgaard, 1998), using the capacity factor as a measure (Athawale and Felder, 2014). This study extends these methods by including storage, hourly variations, and long-term changes in fuel and electricity prices.…”

“…As a result of their higher efficiency, CHP systems reduce energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and operating costs making industries more competitive (Kerr, 2008, Chittum and Kishmohr, 2014, Kalam et al, 2012. Furthermore, CHP has demonstrated a successful performance during large electricity outages and natural disasters (Athawale andFelder, 2014, Shipley et al, 2008).…”

“…International, 2015). However, despite all the benefits provide by CHP initiatives, much of these cost-effective investments are not made due to the presence of CHP barriers that create what is called "CHP Gap" or "CHP Paradox" (Athawale and Felder, 2014). It is argued that a way to overcome an EE Gap-in our case a CHP Gap-is by developing a framework that takes into consideration barriers interaction and stakeholders' effects Abad, 2013, Chai andYeo, 2012).…”

“…These real cases are included in order to emphasize CHP opportunities available to industries. However, most of the time, these opportunities are not implemented due to the presence of CHP barriers (Athawale and Felder, 2014). The following represents the types of initiatives that an effective CHP framework would help to implement:…”

An investigation into the factors affecting industrial implementation of combined heat and power (CHP)

This dissertation investigates the factors affecting adoption rate of combined heat and power (CHP). CHP, also known as cogeneration, is an efficient approach to producing electricity and thermal energy simultaneously from a single fuel source close to the point of use. CHP is an energy efficiency (EE) initiative with several economic, environmental and societal benefits. However, its full potential has not been achieved due to the presence of barriers and the creation of what is called "CHP gap" or "CHP paradox". To overcome this "CHP paradox", this dissertation developed a framework for the effective promotion and implementation of CHP initiatives. This framework was analyzed using Industrial Assessment Center database and the results of a survey taken by CHP stakeholders. Twelve hypotheses were tested using logistic regression and ANOVA models. It was found that payback period and savings generated by CHP projects are the most important factors that influence CHP adoption rate in the early stages of the CHP evaluation process. During the latest stages of the CHP development project, utilities programs, outreach programs and supportive regulation are the significant factors that influence CHP adoption rate. With the information generated during this dissertation, an implementation guide was developed. This implementation guide takes all stakeholders into consideration and presents two tools that will help industries in the early stages of the CHP decision-making process.
