Method for determining the amount of electricity or heat produced from supported energy sources in the production of electricity or heat from different energy sources
(a) Calculation of electricity
(1) In the production of electricity by common combustion of different sources of energy and, where appropriate, different types of biomass, the amount of electricity produced from individual energy sources shall be calculated by means of a relationship:
Ei = EC- Evl · Mpal _ iTMpalT
where
Ei quantity of electricity produced from energy source i [MWh]
EC total electricity produced [MWh]
Evl technological own electricity consumption [MWh]
MTpal _ i amount of energy contained in the combustion energy source i [GJ]
MTpal total amount of energy contained in cogeneration [GJ]
(2) Where the quantity of electricity from high-efficiency cogeneration originating from different energy sources is determined, the formula shall be used in a similar manner. Only for the total quantity of electricity produced shall the total quantity of electricity from high-efficiency cogeneration be recovered and the technological own consumption of electricity shall not be deducted in this case.
(b) Calculation of the quantity of supported heat
(1) When producing heat by common combustion of different energy sources, the amount of heat supported produced from individual energy sources shall be calculated by means of a relationship:
QiT = QT · Mpal _ iTMpalT
where
QTi quantity of heat supplied to the heat supply system distribution system, produced from energy source i [GJ]
QT total amount of heat produced delivered to the heat supply system distribution system [GJ]
MTpal _ i amount of energy contained in the combustion energy source i [GJ]
MTpal total amount of energy contained in cogeneration [GJ]
(c) Quantities of energy contained in the energy sources burned
(1) The quantity of energy contained in the spent energy source for the reference period is determined by reference to:
MTpal _ i = Spal _ i istaqr net _ i
where
MTpal _ i amount of energy contained in the combustion energy source i [GJ]
The total amount of energy (fuel) i consumed in electricity or heat generation or combined electricity and heat generation over the reference period [t]
qr net _ i average calorific value of the energy source (fuel) in the original state, consumed in electricity or heat production or in cogeneration over the reporting period [MJ / kg; MJ / m3]
(2) If, in addition to the sources of energy (fuels) in the combustion plant, the "waste heat '(e.g. from the output of the combustion turbine or combustion engine) is used, the amount of such heat shall be calculated using a relationship:
Mpal iT = Mspal · ispla106
where
MTpal _ i amount of energy contained in the combustion energy source i (waste heat) [GJ]
Mpaled flue gas flow [kg / s]
ipali entalpie flue gas [kJ / kg]
(d) Method for determining the calorific value of the energy source
(1) For solid solid biomass with a mass content of organic matter in the dry matter of more than 50% and a water content of less than 20%, a fuel calorific value of 5 KJ / kg shall be used.
(2) If the actual parameters of solid solid biomass are substantially different from those set out in the previous paragraph, the calorific value of solid biomass shall be calculated by means of a relationship
qnetr = q s pald-0,218 * H td * 100-W tr100-0,02442 * W tr
where
qrnet average calorific value of the source of energy (fuel) in the original state consumed for electricity or heat production or in cogeneration over the reporting period [MJ / kg; MJ / m3]
qdspil the unwatered combustion heat determined by the standard measurement procedure for laboratories accredited under specific legislation on representative samples of each energy source. In the absence of distortion of reality, the energy source supplier [MJ / kg; MJ / m3] may be used for standardized fuels.
Hdt hydrogen content in the anhydrous mass of the energy source [%]; a value of 5,5% shall be used if this does not distort the reality. Otherwise, the hydrogen content shall be determined by a standard method of measuring laboratories accredited under a specific legislation on representative samples of each energy source used.
Wrt total water content by mass in the source of energy in the original state [%]; the standard measurement procedure for representative energy source samples is established. The quantity of representative samples and their specific selection for measurements shall be carried out in such a way that the measured values of the water content of the samples do not give rise to reasonable doubts.
(3) The calculation shall use the water content of biomass determined on the basis of measurements. When determining the value of the water content of biomass by measuring, biomass sampling, selection and quantity of representative biomass samples, monitoring the consumption of biomass and the amount of energy in energy sources consumed in each combustion plant during the co-incineration of energy sources shall be used to establish values of which no reasonable doubt is justified.
(4) A report shall be drawn up on the measurement carried out, recording all steps taken to determine the water content of the biomass by measuring, and identifying the documents from which it was withdrawn.
(5) For liquid and gaseous energy sources, the calorific value is determined in accordance with technical normal1). If the calorific value for liquid or gaseous fuels cannot be determined in accordance with the technical standard, it may be determined otherwise, without reasonable doubt.
1) Decree No. 365 / 2009 Coll., on Gas Market Rules, as amended.
2) Decree No. 82 / 2011 Coll., on the measurement of electricity and on the method of determining the compensation for unauthorised collection, unauthorised delivery, unauthorised transmission or unauthorised distribution of electricity, as amended by Decree No. 476 / 2012 Coll.
3) Act No. 505 / 1990 Coll., on Metrology, as amended.
4) Decree No. 73 / 2010 Coll., on the determination of reserved electrical equipment, their classification in classes and groups and on closer conditions for their safety (Decree on reserved electrical equipment).
