New method for assessing the global quality of energy systems. P. Mazzaracchio, A. Raggi and G. Barbiroli. Appl. Energy, April 1996, 53(4), 315--324.
In order to make a more complete assessment of the global quality of energy systems, characteristics such as conversion and transportation yields, energy potential, added value, storability and polluting emissions such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur and nitrogen oxides, and unburnt hydrocarbons must be considered. The method presented not only identifies and quantifies the parameters that allow the above qualities to be expressed, but also defines a tree-structured energy-quality index system which starts from the parameter identified and makes it possible to obtain a global summary index, through various intermediate levels of aggregation. 28 refs.
