| Abstract | The study involves the technica1 and economic eva1uation of cogeneration
potentia1 in two manufacturing p1ants in the Phi1ippines , name1y , the
Container Corporation of the Philippines (CCP ) and Manila B- Meg Feeds Plant
(B- Meg ) . Two cogeneration systems, the steam turbine and diesel engine, were
identified as candidate cogeneration systems. These systems were sized
according to thermal and power match .
Results show that the installation of both the steam turbine and diesel
engine cogenration systems subject to some limitations is economically
feasible for CCP. The installation of a diesel engine at B-Meg , however , is
not economically feasible.
A sensitivity analysis of the effect of five parameters (buyback rate,
electricity price escalation rate , fuel price escalation rate , capacity factor
and investment cost increase ) on t he internal rate of return (IRR) was carried
out. It was found out t hat IRR increases as the buyback rate and electricity
price escalation rat e increase while IRR decreases as the fuel price
escalation rate and investment cost increased . Decreasing the capacity
utilization factor- resulted in decreased IRR. |
