2.3. Basic CHP plant indices.<br />

The basic indices are based upon following equation:<br />

Cycle efficiency:<br />

Where: - heat delivered to the cycle, – heat extracted from cycle<br />

Plant gross efficiency:<br />

Where: – gross electric power, – fuel flow, - lower heating value<br />

Plant net efficiency:<br />

Where: – in-house load (auxiliaries)<br />

Heat rate:<br />

CHP plant efficiency:<br />

Where: - heating capacity<br />
