3.5.5.2. Indicators Change
In this analysis, the characteristic indicators used the following change
indicators.
3.5.5.2.1. Economic Indicator Change - EcIC
The Electricity Cost [13] is used as the economic indicator. It is
anticipated that the maximum potential change of this indicator is 0.046
cEuro/kWh while its minimal value is zero, meaning that there is no change of
this indicator under this condition. It is of interest to recognize that the
Electricity Cost is the representation of the economic value of the system.
There is the possibility to use as the economic indicator the agglomerated
combination of the different economic indicators: Investment Cost, Energy
Demand and Energy Resources. In order to facilitate the simplicity of this
analysis it is anticipated to use the single indicator Electricity Cost.
3.5.5.2.2. Environmental Indicators Change - EnIC
CO2 emissions, is the sum of the CO2 emissions per unit of electricity
produced expressed in kg/MWh [14] and this is used as the Environmental
Indicator Change. In the assessment of the potential changes of this indicator,
it is anticipated that the maximum value of this indicator is 400 gr/kWh while
its minimum value is zero. In defining the value of this indicator for other
options it is assumed that for Option A, Option C and Option D the value of
this indicator is 100, 200 and 400 gr/kWh respectively.
3.5.5.2.3. Technological Indicator Change - TIC
There are a number of technological indicators used for the assessment of
technology changes. Among these are: the risk of potential change in the
technology, the potential hazards resulting from the outage of the individual
energy source expressed in Billion €, the potential losses due to energy
conflict among parties involved in the energy supply system, expressed in
Billion €. In this analysis, as the technological indicator change, the capital for
development indicator is used. Its maximum numerical value is 390 €/kW [15]
(while its minimum value is zero. The indicator change for options A, B and D
is 130, 260 and 390 €/kW respectively.
3.5.5.2.4. Social Indicator Change - SIC
New Job opening is considered as the social indicator change [16]. In this
analysis the maximum value of this indicator is 6.6 Jobs/kW while its
