Description
Two systems were evaluated, a 250 kW AD community combined heat and power (CHP) system for 23 houses and a High School and a 500 kW AD community CHP system for a High School, Primary School and 108 homes. The systems would be operated with locally produced maize silage and provide heat and power via a district heating system. The intention is for the local community to become an ESCO.
Renewable Technologies
250 kWe and 250 kWth Anaerobic digestion plant and a 500 kW kWe with 440kWth AD plant to provide district heating and electricity.
Study Outcomes |
250 kW AD CHP | 500 kW AD CHP |
| CO2 | 1027 tonnes | 2134 tonnes |
| £ | FIT / RHI income £275,166.00 Electricity savings £28,800.00 Heating savings £20,702.00 |
FIT income £394,560.00 Electricity savings £57,600.00 Heating savings £45,546.00 |
N.B. There was no RHI income for the 500 kW AD CHP as it surpasses the RHI threshold.
