Abstract: The paper deals with the issue of fluctuations in heat demand and how they are dealt with when planning investments in the field of energy recovery of waste. The lifetime of Waste to Energy plants (WtEP) is typically 20–30 years. Their construction is also a time and investment-intensive business and requires a robust design with low sensitivity to future changes in key parameters.
