The calculation resulted with selection of power plant units
with maximal capacity of 10 MW. Selected power plant locations
are in municipalities where the average distances between PPS
and primary storages with biomass feedstock are minimal.
Obviously the reduction of specific investment cost for higher
power plant capacities has more impact on electricity generation
costs than increase of biomass transportation costs. This is also the
implication of high biomass concentration – density, i.e. shorter
transportation distances. In other words, transport costs in relation
to transport distance increase less progressively than the
investment costs in relation to plant's capacity. That is the reason why smaller number of plants with larger capacities is obtained as
the result from the model
