DTEC (Discharged Thermal Energy Conversion)

DTEC (Discharged Thermal Energy Conversion)

DTEC utilizes low temperature waste heat from various manufacturing facilities to generate energy.

Characteristics of DTEC

  1. Effective utilization of low temperature waste heat

    This system enables to generate electricity by low temperature waste heat (200℃ or less) from the industries such as oil refineries, steel plants and chemical plants.

  2. Energy-saving and CO2 emission reduction

    DTEC saves energy and reduces CO2, because the system does not use fossil fuel.

  3. Possible substitute of cooling facilities

    The system can be used to substitute cooling facilities.

  4. Desalination


    Detail

    The system can produce fresh water by desalination (optional). For details, please refer to "Desalination and Secondary Use of Deep Seawater".

Generation Cost

Type Construction cost (※3) Load factor Depreciation cost (※4)
DTEC (MW scale) Approx. JPY300~400k/kW 80~95% JPY2.4~3.2/kWh
Photovoltaic Approx. JPY600k/kW 12~14% JPY33~38/kWh
Wind Approx. JPY200k/kW 15~25% JPY6.1~10/kWh

(※3) The construction cost of DTEC plant is referential since it is much affected by the size of waste heat quantity and characteristics.
(※4) Depreciation period:15 years. Interests are not considered for the estimates.。
