| Cogeneration or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Technology converts gas into both electricity and heat in a single process at the point of use. How Does Cogeneration Work. Cogeneration uses a single process to generate both electricity and usable heat or cooling. The propositions of heat and power needed (Heat: Power) vary from site to site, so the type of plant must be selected carefully and an appropriate operating regime must be established to match demands as closely as possible. Cogeneration System consists of four elements 1. A primary mover (engine) 2. An electricity generator 3. A heat recovery system 4. A control system Suitability of Cogeneration Cogeneration has long history of use in many industries. In recent years the greater availability and wider choice of suitable technology has meant that cogeneration has become an attractive and practical proposition for wide range of industries. These include the process industries, commercial and public sector buildings and district heating schemes, all of which have considerable heat demand. We also lists renewable fuels that can enhance the value of cogeneration, although fossil fuels, particularly natural gas and more widely used * Pharmaceuticals * Paper and board manufacture * Brewing, distilling & malting * Ceramics * Brick * Cement * Food Processing * Textile Processing * Minerals Processing * Oil Refineries * Iron and Steel * Motor Industry * Horticulture and glasshouses * Timber Processing Buildings * District Heating * Hotels * Hospitals * Leisure Centers * Airport * Prisons * Supermarkets * Office Buildings * Individual Houses Renewable Energy * Sewage treatment works * Poultry and other farm sites * Short wood chips * Energy cops * Agro-wastes Energy From Waste * Gasified Municipal Solid Waste * Municipal Incinerators * Landfill sites * Hospital waste incinerators Future of Cogeneration Cogeneration is well proven-technology, recognized world wide as a cleaner alternative to traditional centralized generation. Its long-term future in the global energy markets is secured by its ability to provide operational financial and environmental benefits from a single unit of fuel. Benefits of Cogeneration Operational Advantages: * Base load electricity supply * Security of supply * Legislative compliance. * Increased diversity on heating and hot water * Steam raising capabilities * Trigeneration, using absorption mechanical chillers for cooling Environmental Advantages * Improved fuel efficiency * Reduced CO2 emissions * No Transmission Losses * Reduction of energy consumed * Lower SOx emissions with the use of natural gas a fuel Operational Advantages * Base Load electricity supply * Security of supply * Legislative compliance. * Increased diversity on heating and hot water * Steam raising capabilities * Trigenration, using absorption/mechanical chillers for cooling When to consider Cogeneration Technology, * Designing a new building * Installing new boiler plant * Existing site re-development * Continuity of power * Increasing energy efficiency * Improving Financial Performance * Positive environment impact * Supporting the Company's Green Image - Any time and all the time. |
