Natural gas Coal Biomass Bagasse (waste product from sugar cane processing)
Waste gas Sludge gas from sewage treatment plant Methane from landfills and coal bed methane
Liquid fuels (oil) Renewable gases
Steam turbine Gas turbine
Reciprocating engine Other classifications: Topping cycle Bottoming cycle
Widely used in CHP applications
Oldest prime mover technology Capacities: 50 kW to hundreds of MWs Thermodynamic cycle is the “Rankine cycle” that uses a boiler Most common types Back pressure steam turbine Extraction condensing steam turbine

Operate on thermodynamic “Brayton cycle” atmospheric air compressed, heated, expanded excess power used to produce power
Natural gas is most common fuel 1MW to 100 MW range Rapid developments in recent years
Two types: open and closed cycle
Open Brayton cycle: atmospheric air at increased pressure to combustor Old/small units: 15:1 New/large units: 30:1
Exhaust Gases Condensate from Process HRSG Steam to Process Combustor Fuel
Exhaust gas at 450600 oC G
High pressure steam produced: can drive steam turbine

Supplied fuel first produces power followed by thermal energy Thermal energy is a by product used for process heat or other Most popular method of cogeneration
Primary fuel produces high temperature thermal energy Rejected heat is used to generate power Suitable for manufacturing processes
Increased efficiency of energy conversion and use Reducing environmental impact
Conserving limited resources of fossil fuels Saving money On-site production of electricity generation
Promoting liberalization in energy markets
Industrial CHP Sugar industry – bagasse CHP Others District system CHP IT industry Industrial parks Mixed residential/commercial districts Small Scale Systems
Depends very much on tariff system Heat Avoid cost of separate heat production Electricity 1) Less purchase (kWh) 2) Sale of surplus electricity 3) Peak shaving (kW) Carbon credits (future)
Lack of a clear definition of cogeneration or CHP There has not been an economy-wide study of CHP potential (and associated benefits) Lack of an approved methodology for calculating CO2 emission reductions from CHP Limited availability of competitively priced turbines and engines for CHP Lack of pipeline networks for district cooling
