International OSCOGEN Workshop "Cogeneration Operation in Competitive Markets"
22-23 January 2003 in St. Veit/Glan, Carinthia, Austria

An international OSCOGEN workshop, organised in co-operation with the Carinthian Energy Agency (KEA), has been held on 22-23 January 2003 in St. Veit/Glan near Klagenfurt, Carinthia, Austria, in order to present and discuss the methodology and tool(s) developed within the OSCOGEN project. The 1.5-day event, which has been open both for interested non-academic and academic participants, specifically addressed issues of interest to CHP systems operators. About 30 participants have been able to get an improved understanding of the role of uncertainties in CHP operation, and to appreciate the economic advantages offered by using the developed approach.
