| Abstract | The study presents an economic analysis of investment in cogeneration technology in sugar
industry under the time of day electricity buyback rate based on per unit avoided cost of
utility. Vietnam sugar industry is separated into 3 groups: small, medium and large size
depend on its milling capacity. Economic indicators were used in the evaluation of the
cogeneration project such as: the net present value, the internal rate of return and payback
period analyses in evaluating its economic feasibility commonly used in the decision
process for investments.
The study calculated the system avoided cost due to cogeneration plants based on
traditional resource planning to set the buyback rates properly for co generation.
The study has examined utility expansion planning, economics implications of electricity
generation system expansion on cogeneration plants in Vietnam sugar industry based on
traditional resource planning (TRP). The study shows that cogeneration is selected as an
additional plants in expansion schedules. In economic implication of cogeneration plant,
the study has found that the additional cogeneration plants could reduce the system total
cost in TRP. |
