Abstract
Based on actual operational and economic data of an existing Rankine cycle cogeneration plant connected to a district heating network, a detailed economic and exergetic evaluation is carried out in order to study the influence of the network temperature level of the cogeneration plant efficiency, namely the sum of the electrical and thermal efficiency.
