Abstract

In recent years, renewable energy sources have played an increasingly important role in potential energy production. The integration of renewables into energy production plants has therefore become a major challenge for many organizations. This study concerns the modernization of a small power plant in a large hospital. The design criteria include the possibility of utilizing renewable energy sources and providing a potential increase in heat production (with additional heat being supplied to a nearby university campus). The existing boiler conditions (i.e. controls, efficiency, etc.) are unable to satisfy the desired requirements and therefore require an extensive retrofit.
