An Integrated Approach to the Assessment of Energy Conversion Plants

摘要: An integrated approach to the assessment of energy systems behaviour with regard energetic, economic and environmental viewpoints is suggested. For each aspect, suitable performance indicators are defined, evaluated then normalised in order that same numerical value calculated for qualitatively equivalent performances even if related different aspects; application these can address policy makers, designers plant operators towards a fair compromise among such important aspects. In this paper method applied types plants (thermal power, gas-steam combined, co-generative, geo-thermal hydroelectric) results compared discussed. The procedure be effective both determining standard class analysing deviations particular from average its class. A primary version was presented at ECOS’00 Conference Enschede, July 5-7, 2000
