Abstract

Electricity generation can be done in conventional (or centralized) way (i.e. in large thermal power, plants fueled by solid, liquid and gaseous fuels, large hydropower plants and nuclear thermal power plants), or in dispersed way, which is defined as electricity production that is not centrally planned, is not managed by a dispatch center and is most often connected to the distribution network.
From the results for the pollution from emissions of gases from the Thermal Power Plant (TPP) - Bitola for 2012, the quantities of pollutants in specific values (kg/MWh) have been calculated, for the electricity generation from burning coal-lignite. These results are used for the calculation of the amount of emissions into the atmosphere and waste materials in the environment, from a fictitious (imagined) coal-lignite thermal power plant, with electricity production equal to the production of a real (existing) photovoltaic (PV) power plant with a capacity of 1 MW. The calculations are made for each year separately and in total for the period from 2013 to 2019.
It can be concluded that the production of “pure”, or so-called "green electricity" in the future should be further emphasized by building photovoltaic power plants that directly use solar energy, together with other different types of renewable energy sources (RES), mainly wind energy. That is also in accordance with the Strategy for energy development of the Republic of North Macedonia until 2040 that envisages decommissioning of TPP – Bitola and strong growth of electricity generation from RES, mainly PV and wind energy.
