Conclusion Despite increased risk (esp. scheduling / prediction) the market integration potentially increases feasibility of small CHP units. Despite the lack of a thermal storage, the field test plant at the swimming pool realized an increased marginal income as compared to the risk free operation under a (fixed) feed-in tariff. But low transaction costs (margin of the market maker) is crucial. Need for scheduling increases the complexity substantially. Step by Step Market Integration: Implementation of a voluntary dynamic tariff next to nowadays fixed feed-in tariff for small CHP. Comparable systemic value as market integration but 16 decreased transaction cost decreased prediction risk on an individual basis.
