“…Evaluating the performance of the CHPS with respect to a set of specific criteria is complex and challenging [2,4]. This is due to the presence of (a) multiple alternatives; (b) conflicting and incommensurable objectives; and (c) fuzzy data derived from imprecise judgments of qualitative performance ratings, resulting from human subjectivity [7].…”

“…Zheng et al [27] state that the operating costs of a combined district heating system need to include the economic base load ratio, critical peak heating temperature, and the operation strategy for the system. At the same time, Gonzalez-Pino et al [4] point out that the operational and economic viability of CHPS must be considered in the performance evaluation process. Skorek-Osikowska et al [8] believe that an effective CHPS must yield economical savings and real energy savings, based on primary energy consumption, and the ability to reduce the emission of pollutants.…”

“…By doing so, heat that is normally wasted in conventional power generation is recovered as useful energy, which avoids the losses that would otherwise be incurred from separate generation of heat and power. Thus, the use of CHPS are important, as these systems can significantly reduce electricity grid dependence and save operational costs [4,5].…”

This paper presented a multicriteria assessment model for evaluating the performance of combined heat and power systems. Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers were used for representing the subjective and imprecise assessments of the decision maker in evaluating the relative importance of the criteria, and the performance of individual combined heat and power systems. An effective algorithm was developed based on the concept of ideal solutions for calculating the overall performance index, for each combined heat and power system across all criteria. An example was presented to demonstrate the applicability of the multicriteria assessment model, for dealing with real world combined heat and power system performance evaluation problems.

“…Lantz [8] studied the economic performance of CHP from biogas produced from manure and performed a comparison of two different CHP technologies: a SI (sparkplug ignition) engine and a CI (compression ignition) engine. Gonzalez-Pino et al [9] analyzed the economic feasibility of a 1kWe Stirling engine-based residential micro-CHP system. This work focused on analyzing how the latest modifications in the Spanish micro-CHP and renewable energy regulations affect the viability of this technology.…”

“…This is reflected in the literature, with a range of studies exploring the engineering challenges and performance of different heating technologies [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The vast majority of the studies that consider techno-economics do so in the context of the present-day energy system.…”

Existing studies that consider the techno-economics of residential heating systems typically focus on their performance within present-day energy systems. However, the energy system within which these technologies operate will need to change radically if climate change mitigation is to be achieved. This article addresses this problem by modelling small-scale heating techno-economics in the context of significant electricity system decarbonisation. The current electricity market price regime based on short run marginal costs is seen to provide a very weak investment signal for electricity system investors, so an electricity price regime based on long run marginal energy costs is also considered, using a case study of the UK in 2035. The economic case for conventional boilers remains stronger in most dwelling types. The exception to this is for dwellings with high annual heat demand. Sensitivity studies demonstrate the impact of factors such as price of natural gas, carbon intensity of the central grid and thermodynamic performance. Fuel cell micro combined heat and power shows most potential under the long run electricity price regime, and heat pumps under the short run electricity price regime. This difference highlights the importance of future electricity market structure on consumer choice of heating systems in the future.
