Summary <strong>of</strong> country study – Viet Nam<br />

Figures derived from the analysis <strong>of</strong> the electricity <strong>and</strong> fuel bills are summarized below:<br />

• Total Electricity Consumption (8/97 to 7/98): 33,157.00 MWh<br />

• Maximum Electricity Dem<strong>and</strong>: 6.50 MW<br />

• M<strong>in</strong>imum Electricity Dem<strong>and</strong>: 4.30 MW<br />

• Total Fuel Consumption (8/97 to 7/98): 4.22 million litres<br />

• Maximum Steam Dem<strong>and</strong>: 13.81 ton/hr<br />

• M<strong>in</strong>imum Steam Dem<strong>and</strong>: 8.91 ton/hr<br />

Assum<strong>in</strong>g the cool<strong>in</strong>g was provided by a vapour absorption chiller, the average power-to-heat<br />

ratios would be 0.65. Typical <strong>cogeneration</strong> system for this site would be based on gas<br />

turb<strong>in</strong>e. However, reciprocat<strong>in</strong>g eng<strong>in</strong>e, steam turb<strong>in</strong>e <strong>cogeneration</strong> systems were also<br />

considered as potential alternatives. Altogether five alternatives are analyzed <strong>and</strong> the results<br />

<strong>of</strong> the feasibility study are summarized <strong>in</strong> Table 4.3.<br />

Note: S.T.: Steam Turb<strong>in</strong>e; R.E.: Reciprocat<strong>in</strong>g Eng<strong>in</strong>e; G.T.: Gas Turb<strong>in</strong>e<br />

The first two alternatives could satisfy the steam dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong> the factory. Their IRR is higher<br />

than the hurdle rate <strong>and</strong> their total <strong>in</strong>vestment are the lowest among considered alternatives.<br />

However, the company would have to purchase most <strong>of</strong> <strong>its</strong> electricity needs from the utility<br />

grid.<br />

The alternatives 3, with reciprocat<strong>in</strong>g eng<strong>in</strong>e configuration, can be considered as the best<br />

option as it gives a favourable IRR. However, the <strong>in</strong>vestment cost is very high <strong>in</strong> comparison<br />

with the first two alternatives.<br />
