METHOD FOR ASSESSING OF PRODUCTIONS EFFICIENCY ON CO2 EMISSION MINIMIZATION WITH ACCENT ON POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS

Abstract

The paper develops the assessment methods of CO2 emission efficiency of the combined productions and the energy supply systems, and the ways of efficiency improvement. These methods allow determining the specific indicators of the supplied products, that makes it possible to compare the efficiency of productions and energy supply systems of the different companies and countries, and to define their future target indicators. The technique is suitable for the productions with any set of equipment. Practical application of the suggested efficiency criteria will contribute to the transition to the “green” energy and economy along the most effective trajectory of their modernization. Thus, we can rank the planned measures by the efficiency and the priority of implementation. The paper can be interesting to the power engineering specialists, businesspersons and economists, and participants of the UN Paris Climate Change Agreement to determine the future specific indicators of greenhouse gases emissions. The paper presents the innovative technology of introducing the wind power plants to the energy supply systems by means of using unstabilized wind-based power for direct fuel substitution in thermal cycles of combined cycle plants. As a result, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced. The wind power plants inclusion in the electric grid through the thermal power plants allows us to avoid solving the problems of maintaining power quality and operating reserve of the wind power plants capacity in the power system and to use the wind energy at the plants of combined heat and high-quality electric power production. These the wind and fuel power complexes can replace the nuclear and fuel power plants. At the same time, the producers of the traditional power equipment get chance to expand the business instead of his reduction owing to replacement by the renewable sources and hydrogen energy.
