Cogeneration (often referred to as Combined Heat and Power, or CHP) is the generation of electricity combined with productive use of otherwise 'waste' heat from the combustion of the same primary fuel, and is typically is two to three times more fuel efficient compared to conventional technologies. The schematic below compares the typical fuel input needed to produce 35 units of electricity and 50 units of heat using conventional generation and cogeneration. It shows that cogeneration is nearly twice as fuel efficient at meeting a site's electricity and thermal needs. Relative efficiency of conventional versus CHP generation (Source: US Govt.

Extractions: Gas Turbines Part of , by students of at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, USA, Spring 2003. Professor Zoltan Grossman The Australian Department of the Parliament Library defines cogeneration, or CHP, as the simultaneous production of electricity and heat using a single fuel such as natural gas. The heat produced from the electricity generating process is captured and used to produce different levels of steam. The steam can be used as a heat source for both industrial and domestic purposes.

Extractions: Cogeneration is a proven energy efficient technology. Since the mid-1980s, over 120 hospitals, senior care facilities and colleges in Northern California have installed Tecogen cogeneration systems. www.tecogen.com Free Feasibility Studies To assist facility managers in evaluating whether they have a feasible application for Cogeneration, ACC provides free feasibility studies. The studies provide the systems total installed cost, estimated energy savings, and utility rebate amount. A 10-year cash flow analysis is provided to determine the total savings on an annual and cumulative basis. Cost Savings and Financial Incentives And because cogeneration is such a proven energy saving technology, PG&E is now offering a rebate equal to 30 percent of the cost of the entire system (including all equipment and installation costs). The rebate is paid immediately after the installation. In addition, PG&E offers a special "cogeneration rate" for natural gas that is far below other commercial rates for natural gas. In most applications, facilities are realizing an average annual savings on energy costs equal to 30 to 50%. Where else can you get a safe 30% to 50% return on your investment?
SEMCO ENERGY GAS COMPANY - Industrial: Cogeneration effectively. Cogeneration, a technology that burns energy once and uses it twice, may be the answer for your industry. Cogeneration http://www.semcoenergygas.com/industrial/cogen.html
Extractions: document.write(" "+day+" ",month+daydate+ " " + year + ""); As environmental regulations tighten and costs continue to increase, industry continues to seek ways to use energy efficiently and effectively. Cogeneration, a technology that burns energy once and uses it twice, may be the answer for your industry. Cogeneration or "thermal recycling" captures the excess energy contained in exhaust gases. A unique type of heat exchanger or heat recovery unit is placed in line with the exhaust of a gas turbine that uses the hot exhaust gases in place of a boiler flame. This "waste" heat would be lost "up the stack" in more conventional designs, but with cogeneration, exhaust gases are not allowed to escape until all excess thermal energy is recovered. Thus, industry can have its own natural gas fueled independent power plant that efficiently produces electricity and hot water or steam.

Extractions: Distributed Electrical Power Production Assessment of Fuel Cell for Vehicle Application Conversion of Vehicle to Use LPG Technical and Economic Assessments of Cogeneration Systems C ogeneration systems provide both electrical power and a thermal commodity. The thermal commodity may be hot gases, steam, hot water, or chilled water (produced via an absorption chiller). The thermal commodity is produced from energy sources such as the exhaust of a gas turbine that would not be used in a non-cogeneration application. Overall thermal efficiencies (including the electrical power and thermal commodity) may range from 50% to near 90% depending on the specific situation. A ny facility that uses electrical power may be a candidate for a cogeneration system. Cogeneration systems may be found at industrial, commercial and institutional sites. In general, cogeneration makes the most sense where electrical rates are relatively high, fuel costs are relatively low, and the loads are relatively constant. Each specific case, however, must be examined carefully to verify the economic feasibility. T echnical and economic assessments of the application of cogeneration systems have been completed for a number of Texas state agencies. In addition, computer programs have been developed to complete these technical and economic assessments.

Energy Management Cogeneration At MU The MU Power Plant utilizes a process called cogeneration to maximize the efficiency of energy production for the MU campus. Every http://www.cf.missouri.edu/energy/cogen.stm
Extractions: The power plant at the University of Missouri - Columbia provides all the thermal energy and a portion of the electrical energy for the MU campus. The MU Power Plant utilizes a process called cogeneration to maximize the efficiency of energy production for the MU campus. Every new building relies on the steam and electricity for lighting, heating, and cooling. Thermal energy (steam) and electricity for the campus are produced simultaneously at the plant resulting in an overall efficiency of nearly twice that of a conventional power plant. Essentially, electricity is produced as a byproduct of the thermal (steam) energy used on campus. The MU power plant is one of the largest cogenerators of thermal energy and electricity in the State of Missouri. Emissions are significantly reduced from the plant by employing cogeneration. The higher overall efficiencies realized with cogeneration reduce the consumption of fuels in the plant's boilers, reducing emissions from the plant. It is estimated MU prevents over 18,000 tons of source emissions each year with cogeneration.
Extractions: 2-3 December, 1999 The Expert Group Meeting has provided a forum for improving the awareness of industrial energy efficiency (with a focus on cogeneration technologies), through identifying barriers to and opportunities for its effective deployment in developing and transitional economies. The objective of the meeting was to address energy efficiency, cogeneration and greenhouse gas mitigation options in the national context of participating countries, as well as bringing about the necessary focus and action needed for strengthening the capacity of the industrial sector for their full participation in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). It has also provided an opportunity for discussing technical and managerial aspects of energy efficiency/cogeneration technologies and issues in project design and project financing in the context of CDM. The meeting has bought together policy-makers, consultants, industry professionals and managers from developing countries and economies in transition in addition to representatives from international organizations dealing with climate change and energy efficiency issues.
