Calculation of the power loss coefficient of steam turbine as a part of the cogeneration plant

A cogeneration plant operates under very variable conditions within a reporting period (usually one year) and this frustrates the achievement of the high standards stipulated by the EU Directive from 2004. Taking into consideration these difficulties, one needs to start with the decomposition of the cogeneration plant in order to determine a virtual part of the plant that can meet the requirements of the Directive on the basis of conducted measurements and calculations. In this way, the plant can be partially qualified as eligible for economic and financial benefits.
