TECHNO-ECONOMIC OPTIMIZATION OF ENERGY SUPPLY OF A LIVESTOCK FARM
Livestock farming is a significant part of agriculture market in Serbia. A descending trend of livestock species was recorded recently, despite its potential for export of meet. Application of new technologies could improve competitiveness of livestock farming. In this paper, energy efficient energy supply technologies and potentials for their application in livestock farms is analyzed. A methodology for pinpointing profitable energy supply options which also provides significant energy and CO2 savings is proposed. A case study of a pig farm was used to perform an energy balance and allocation of energy supply costs. Potentials for application of energy supply technologies based on local resources were estimated in the study. Effects of integration of proposed technologies were also estimated. The proposed methodology was used to analyze feasibility of proposed energy supply options. Investment in a biogas cogeneration plant showed best profitability. Integrated option which envisages application of heat pump for heat supply and photovoltaic solar collectors for production of electricity showed best energetic and environmental performance, while maintaining financial feasibility.
