Original abstract

This study aims to optimise the structural design of industrial central utility systems to while taking full advantage of intra-day electricity spot price fluctuations. Surges renewable electricity generation uptake has amplified the rises and falls between peak and off-peak electricity prices. Industrial Total Sites and Locally Integrated Energy Sectors can take maximum advantage of periods of both low and high electricity prices through appropriate technology investment. Using P-graph, a Utility Systems Planner superstructure is extended to apply a multi-period analysis to optimally select the fuels, energy conversion technologies, and the requires sizes to install for a representative case study. A key difference between the multi-period solution and the single-period solution is an Electric Boiler that operates when the electricity price is low. This results in a Total Annual Cost saving of 7.5 %.
