Abstract

A new methodical approach is proposed for determining the fuel components in the net cost of thermal and electric energy generated at cogeneration stations, which takes into account the relative value of energy transferred by working body in the form of heat and work.

The method proposed by the author can be used alongside with other methods only for evaluating the efficiency of using fuel at cogeneration stations. The selling prices and tariffs for electricity and heat generated at cogeneration stations should be determined using other methods that take into account market relations in economics—Eds.
