This licentiate thesis by Tommy Rosén focuses on analyzing the efficiency of heat and work within a regional energy system in Linköping, Sweden, particularly examining the regional combined heat and power (CHP) plant. The study adopts a top-down, analytical approach to assess the current energy efficiency and identify potential improvements. It evaluates three subsystems: regional electricity production, heat production, and public transport. The research suggests hardware investments in CHP plants could enhance electricity generation efficiency and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Additionally, it proposes using biogas more effectively and lowering district heating system temperatures to improve system efficiency and reduce emissions. The thesis is aimed at energy system professionals and policymakers, providing insights into practical energy efficiency improvements using real-world data.
