Extended Total Sites with Multiple Energy Carriers

摘要

The paper presents an extension of the Total Sites methodology covering industrial, residential, service, business and agricultural customers and the incorporation of renewable energy sources, accounting for the variability on the supply and demand sides. The challenge to increase the share of renewables in the energy mix could be met by integrating solar, wind, biomass, geothermal energy as well as some types of waste with the fossil fuels. The renewables availability, the energy demands of the considered sites all vary significantly with time of the day, period of the year and location. Some are not predictable and varying very fast. Total Site CHP energy systems are optimised minimising heat waste and carbon footprint, and maximising economic viability.
