How to assemble your energy matrix
How to assemble your energy matrix
Each company or institution has a geographic location, a potential consumption volume of each source to be analyzed, and a predisposition (or not) to assume a supply contract.
This set of factors (among others potentially) defines the costs that providers will present for each energy source. Usually each of them has its business unit. It can be, for example, $/liter, $/MWh,, $/m³, $/kg.
The next step is equalizing all costs on the same physical unit. Illustratively it can be in $/MWh.
I also recommend equalizing the efficiencies of the conversion processes. An electric oven may have a different performance than a gas oven. And this goes for all comparisons!
This way, you can already come up your own table with the prospected sources in the same technical-commercial reference, facilitating the decision-making process!

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
