− ### ANNEX II

− **METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE COGENERATION PROCESS**

− Values used for calculation of efficiency of cogeneration and primary energy savings shall be determined on the basis of the expected or actual operation of the unit under normal conditions of use.

− (a) **High-efficiency cogeneration**

− For the purpose of this Directive high-efficiency cogeneration shall fulfil the following criteria:

− — cogeneration production from cogeneration units shall provide primary energy savings calculated according to point (b) of at least 10 % compared with the references for separate production of heat and electricity,

− — production from small-scale and micro-cogeneration units providing primary energy savings may qualify as high-efficiency cogeneration.

− (b) **Calculation of primary energy savings**

− The amount of primary energy savings provided by cogeneration production defined in accordance with Annex I shall be calculated on the basis of the following formula:

− Where:

− PES is primary energy savings.

− CHP Hη is the heat efficiency of the cogeneration production defined as annual useful heat output divided by the fuel input used to produce the sum of useful heat output and electricity from cogeneration.

− Ref Hη is the efficiency reference value for separate heat production.

− CHP Eη is the electrical efficiency of the cogeneration production defined as annual electricity from cogeneration divided by the fuel input used to produce the sum of useful heat output and electricity from cogeneration. Where a cogeneration unit generates mechanical energy, the annual electricity …

− Ref Eη is the efficiency reference value for separate electricity production.

− (c) **Calculations of energy savings using alternative calculation**

− Member States may calculate primary energy savings from a production of heat and electricity and mechanical energy as indicated below without applying Annex I to exclude the non-cogenerated heat and electricity parts of the same process. Such a production can be regarded as high-efficiency cogenerat…

− If primary energy savings for a process are calculated using alternative calculation as indicated above the primary energy savings shall be calculated using the formula in point (b) of this Annex replacing: ‘CHP Hη’ with ‘Hη’ and ‘CHP Eη’ with ‘Eη’, where:

− Hη shall mean the heat efficiency of the process, defined as the annual heat output divided by the fuel input used to produce the sum of heat output and electricity output.

− Eη shall mean the electricity efficiency of the process, defined as the annual electricity output divided by the fuel input used to produce the sum of heat output and electricity output. Where a cogeneration unit generates mechanical energy, the annual electricity from cogeneration may be increased …
