Cogeneration

Co-sponsored by: Ken Oexle

This presentation will cover the Overview of Cogeneration.

• What is Cogeneration?
• HVAC Basics / Cogen Considerations
• Economic Considerations of CogenIncreased efficiency of energy conversion and use. Cogeneration is the most effective and efficient form of power generation.
• Lower emissions to the environment, in particular of CO2, the main greenhouse gas. Cogeneration is the single biggest solution to the Kyoto targets.
• Large cost savings, providing additional competitiveness for industrial and commercial users, and offering affordable heat for domestic users.
• An opportunity to move towards more decentralised forms of electricity generation, where plants are designed to meet the needs of local consumers, providing high efficiency, avoiding transmission losses and increasing flexibility of system use. This will particularly be the case if natural gas is the energy carrier.
• Improved local and general security of supply – local generation, through cogeneration, can reduce the risk of consumers being left without supplies of electricity and/or heating. In addition, the reduced need for fuel resulting from cogeneration reduces import dependency.
• An opportunity to increase the diversity of generation plant, and provide competition in generation. Cogeneration provides one of the most important vehicles for promoting energy martket liberalisation.
• Increased employment – a number of studies have now concluded that the development of CHP systems is a generator of jobs.
