“…In the framework of European Cogeneration Directives, some authors analysed the opportunity to install new, small-scale and micro-cogeneration systems [6]. Other authors provided procedure for the calculation of performance indicators in the context of HEC, giving also specific hints for future revision of the Directive on Cogeneration and the related texts [7].…”

In Europe, the introduction of high-efficiency cogeneration regulatory has radically changed the incentive scheme for cogeneration power plants that, in turn, inevitably affected the evaluation of techno-economic feasibility of new cogeneration plants. In this regard, selection and optimal design for cogeneration systems need to be investigated in the light of the new regulatory context. The first objective of this paper is an in-depth characterization of crucial industrial sectors aiming to define their average specific electric and thermal energy consumption, in addition, a detailed characterization of each cogeneration technology is provided, so as to identify the most significant cogeneration performance. Then, based on both energy requests of industrial processes and cogeneration performance, a specific procedure is applied to each of the analysed technology for a proper selection and design of a cogeneration system within the new high-efficiency cogeneration regulatory context. Finally, a total key performance indicator has been defined with the purpose to choose the technology best suited to a specific application so that the optimal solution can be immediately identified among a variety of possible ones. The result of this work represents an objective proposal of cogeneration technologies for different industrial processes application as a function of their energy requirements and production.

“…By separating the environmental attributes of renewable energy generation from physical unit of electricity, TRECM allows the green power attributes to be sold or traded separately from the physical unit of energy and so paid for it [3], [4]. Besides, numerous supportive regulations such as European RES Directive for development of renewable resources [5]- [7], European CHP Directive for energy efficiency improvement [5], [6], [8], and similar supportive regulations in other countries, Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) in several countries [9]- [11], Kyoto protocol which has a role in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and so on are the factors that accelerate DG growth.…”

This paper addresses the bidding problem faced by a virtual power plant (VPP) in a joint market of energy and spinning reserve service. The proposed bidding strategy is a non-equilibrium model based on the deterministic price-based unit commitment (PBUC) which takes the supply-demand balancing constraint and security constraints of VPP itself into account. The presented model creates a single operating profile from a composite of the parameters characterizing each distributed energy resources (DER), which is a component of VPP, and incorporates network constraints into its description of the capabilities of the portfolio. The presented model is a nonlinear mixed-integer programming with inter-temporal constraints and solved by genetic algorithm (GA).Index Terms-Bidding strategy, energy market, spinning reserve market, virtual power plant. NOMENCLATURE Sets and Indices:Index for buses. Index for hours.Set of branches of VPP. Set of DGs.Set of permitted hours in which interruptible load may be curtailed if necessary.Set of interruptible loads.Set of electrochemical storages.Set of nodes of VPP. Variables:Bid of VPP to energy market (positive and negative values indicate purchasing from and selling to energy market, respectively).Binary variable denoting commitment status of a DG.
