Evaluating Benefits with Independent and Cogenerated Power Production
Abstract
New generation planning concepts must be developed which
recognize an expanded list of "stakeholders", (e.g. IPP's, ·cogenerators, industrial hosts, utility shareholders and rate
payers), and additional technical issues (e.g. generation dispatch,
transmission, wheeling, etc.) associated with independent power
generation.
This paper investigates the effect of introducing "power
value" concepts on regional generation planning. The effects of
independent and cogenerated power generation, its capacity
allocation, and the distribution of benefits will be described. The
incremental sensitivity of variation in the economic parameters of
a cogeneration project on the optimum power allocation will be
illustrated.
The illustrations and techniques described in the paper offer
unique and flexible generation planning tools which can provide
insight, indicate trends, and aid in establishing sensitivities for
cogeneration planning and competitive guidelines in supplying
energy to optimize regional benefits.
