The calculated parameters in characteristic points of the analyzed systems are presented in Tables<br />

A.1, A.2, A.3 in appendix A.<br />

5. Results<br />

The crucial calculated parameters at system boundaries of each analysed CHP unit have been<br />

presented in Table 3.<br />

For the same district heat production, obtained net and gross electricity production is the highest for<br />

IGCC unit. The CO2 emission for both plants equipped with CO2 capture is relatively low. Lack of<br />

energy consumption for the CO2 capture installation in case of reference CFB plant results in the<br />

highest value of energy utilization factor achieved. EUF indicator for the IGCC CHP plant is lower<br />

than for other systems as it does not take into account different quality of products.<br />

When comparing exergy efficiency, the highest value is achieved for the reference CFB plant<br />

(without CO2 capture). The decrease of exergy efficiency caused by CO2 capture and compression<br />

is ca. 8 percentage points, but in case of IGCC CHP plant the exergy efficiency plant is only 3<br />

points lower than for the reference system.<br />
