PROBLEM 01
Consider a Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP), based on a micro gas turbine recuperated cycle. The main
components and thermodynamic processes are described below:
Compressor;
Combustion chamber;
Recuperator (heat exchanger gas-gas)Economizer (heat exchanger gas-liquid)
Alternator
Summary description of the process: Atmospheric air is compressed in the compressor and heated by the
exhausts gas at the recuperator, then the compressed air passes through the combustor where natural gas is
burned. Combustion products are then expanded in the turbine that feeds the compressor and the alternator., .
Finally, in the economizer, using the sensible heat of the exhausts water is heated for heat production.

Problems
SOLUTION PROBLEM 1:
a)
Daily consumption is
Daily consumption = 6x4 + 5 + 4x5+3x9 + 5x1 = 81 kWh/day
Monthly consumption = 81 x 30 = 2430 kWh/month
Present electricity monthly bill:
Monthly bill = Fixed term + Variable term = 15,70 + 2430 x 0,1143 = 293 €/month
b)For the daily cycle:
Peak hours (8h –22h) = 6x3 + 5 + 4 + 3 x 9 = 54 kWh/day or 1620 kWh/month
= =
Present electricity monthly bill:
Monthly bill = 21,99 + 1620x0,1132 + 810x0,0614= 255 €/month
There is a benefit with the dual tariff, daily cycle.
c)
Supposing that, the contract has been changed for the dual tariff, daily cycle. The daily cost saving will be:
(considering that there are 14 peak hours and 10 off peak hours)

PROBLEM 02
Imagine you are building yourself a new house and still haven’t decided on the heating system you will install.
After a brief market research you have narrowed down your options to only two: a heating system based on
electrical resistances and a heating system based on a hot water circuit heated by a natural gas boiler.
Based on the records you kept form your previous house, you got to the conclusion that you will use the
heating system 16 hours per day (between 8:00 to and 24:00), only on week days and only during 5 winter
months, with an average power of 2kW.
a) Considering that you have an electrical contract of 10.35kVA with dual tariff on a daily cycle, determinewhich of these two solutions is best (assume an 80% efficiency for the hot water boiler, a LHV of 40MJ/m3
and an average price for natural gas of 0.596778 €/m3 ).
b) Comment on the above solution bearing in mind what you have learned about Useful, Final and Primary
Energy.

SOLUTION P02
The heating system runs 16 hours per day. According to the existing tariff plans, this corresponds to 14 hours on peak and 2
hoursoff-peak (dualelectricity tariff).
Theannual cost of the first solution is thereforegivenby:
(14h* 2kW* 0.1132 €/kWh+2h* 2kW* .0614 €/kWh) * 5days/week* 4weeks/month * 5months/year =314.52 €/year
s or e a ura as sou on, e annua amoun o na energy consume s gven y e c ency :
16h* 2kW* 5days/week* 4weeks/month * 5months/year / 0.8=4000 kWh/year
Consideringa lower heatingvalueof9054kcal/m3, thisyields:
4000 kWh/year * 860kcal/kWh/ 9054kcal/m3 =380m3/year
Which, considering thecurrent tariff results in:
* . .
Answer: The best solution is the natural gas boiler . The fixed terms are not taken into account, as it would be necessary to
allocate a certain percentage of its value to the heating use, which in this case cannot be done. However, considering that the
total fixed value is assigned toheating the final result remains the same, as the electricit fixed costsarehigher than the ones for

naturalgas (4.27€/month).

SOLUTION P02
Comments: In this problemthe natural gas solution proves to be the best. Additionally, if we calculate the price
of natural gas per kWh of final energy, we obtaina value of 0.056684 €/kWh, which is lower than the electricity
prices. However, considering that a typical natural gas heating systemwill have an efficiencyof approximately
80%, the priceper kWh of useful energy will goup to 0.070857€/kWh, surpassing the off-peak value for adual
tariff electricitycontract (0.0614 €/kWh), wherewewouldconsider a100%efficient electric resistancesystem.
This means that, assuming the maximumpower usage (10.35 kW) during all the off-peak period (10h per day),
themonthly fee usingelectricitywouldbecome lower than the oneusingnatural gas:
Electricity: 10.35kW* 10h* 30 days/month * .0614 €/kWh+21.99 €/month=212.64 €/month
* *. . . .
This scenario, although theoretical, alerts to fact that an energy sourcethat is morePrimary Energy consuming
shouldalways be moreexpensive thanothers (whichdoes not happen in thiscase), as the failure todosomay
. ,
the fixed terms are now considered, as it is assumed that all power is allocated to the heating system.
Otherwisethepricedifferencewould increasefurthermore, emphasizing theaboveremarks.
