ABSTRACT

This Appendix contains details of a number of cases-in the small chp area. These range from instances where actual chp has been installed to those where evaluations have concluded that there is no justification for such schemes. Such evaluations range from fairly objective to highly subjective assessments of the economic viability of chp installations. Two cases on heat recovery without power generation are also appended to remind us that this field is very much wider than that defined by the constraints imposed by power generation. The objective in presenting these studies is to provide illustrations of factors felt to be important in economic evaluation of small chp schemes rather than to provide comprehensive studies of the relatively small number of schemes for which there is adequate information. Many of the cases used draw upon Dr Norman Kendall’s publication: “Report on a study carried out under a Science Research Council Grant GR/A/3505.1”, November 1977.
