Key Performance Indicators to evaluate the integration of solar heating in industrial processes

This deliverable corresponds to Task 2.4. The deliverable D2.3 will include the definition of a set of relevant KPIs for describing the impacts that would derive from the implementation of solar plants at the demonstration sites. It will be realized accordingly to specific references to primary energy consumption, share of solar, GHG emissions and other pollutants, investment and operating costs for the new plants to be installed. A database of the set of relevant KPIs, prepared based on a market analysis, will be defined using available sources as well as a database of costs of the technologies (CAPEX and OPEX) for each main solar technology will be prepared based on a market analysis. A comparison with the EU-28 energy tariffs differentiated per country and energy vector (natural gas, electricity, oil derivate fuels, etc...) will be made to address cost benefit.
