Syftet med den här rapporten är att göra en undersökning av möjligheterna för användning av långtidsvärmelager för drift i kraftvärmesystem. Projektet han initierats av adj. professor Heimo Zinko, IKP Energisystem i form av bidrag till ett projekt inom IEA, Annex VIII. Projektet utförs i samarbete med Svensk Fjärrvärme, Tekniska Verken AB i Linköping, ENA Energi AB i Enköping och ZW Energiteknik i Nyköping. Projektet har genomförts av två examensarbetare vid Linköpings Tekniska Högskola under höstterminen 2006.Projektet har delats in i två studier där ENA Energi AB i Enköping och Tekniska Verken AB i Linköping har varit de två studieobjekttiven.

To achieve the requirements to decrease emissions of greenhouse gases by 20 % by 2020, Swedenneeds to increase its use of bioenergy. In doing so it seems natural that those who already haveaccess to large amounts of biofuels in the form of by-products such as straw, wood chips anddigestible materials take advantage of these assets locally. By combining production of heat withpower production at the farm it may be possible to not only reduce the direct use of fossil fuel forheating but also reduce energy costs.The purpose was to simulate different cases of using a small scale biofueled combined heat andpower plant for farm-based systems. A MatLab-model was developed and used to draw conclusionsabout the costs for production of heat and electricity with different conversion technologies.The model uses climate data to simulate the variations in heat energy demand on a day-to-day basis.The given heat demand is the base of the simulation and from this the possible electric output iscalculated. This study has focused on the impact of the following properties: electric-, heat- andtotal efficiency, fuel, fuel price and specific fuel requirements.
