Local Management of CHP

Most feed-in laws for decentralised and fluctuating generation guaranty a fixed payment for each kWh fed in. Typically an operator will try to maximise the operation hours of his plant to increase produced electricity and with it his return. This thermally driven operation does not regard any restrictions of the electricity grid. To motivate the local operator for an electrical and thermal coordinated operation of the CHP we suggest a variable and local component to the price curve for the produced electricity, which represents the transport capacity of the distribution grid.
