Distributed cogeneration technology in the aspect of costs and power regulation

The publication presents an opinion on the use of distributed combined energy generation techniques in power industry. The article presents the developed experience and views on the idea of using renewable energy sources in a conventional energy system. The views take into consideration the synergy of centralised and distributed energy systems, and accentuate organisational needs that adapt structurally the functioning of distributed generation to the standards of a conventional system. The results of the study include characteristics of energy production costs in a model gas turbine as well as the developed functions and ways of functioning distributed energy systems. In order to adapt the distributed generation to the idea of a centralised system, a share of cogeneration and hybrid systems as well as of energy sources of various origins is adopted.
