Cogeneration and Trigeneration Systems CHP
Combined heat and power (CHP) combines generation of usable heat and power (electricity) in a single and highly efficient system. CHP captures the usable heat generated during electricity generation. This is much more advantageous compared to the conventional electricity generation methods in which large amounts of heat is wasted.
At present coal and natural gas-fired power plants, approximately two-third of the total energy consumed is usually wasted as a steam cloud over cooling towers. Trigeneration is use of a CHP unit combined with an absorption chiller to provide electricity, heat and cooling. Buildings with continual or seasonal cooling demand can use trigeneration as a cost-efficient and low-carbon method for meeting their heat and cooling demands.
