Beskrivelse
This book presents a comprehensive, integrated treatment of cogeneration technologies and systems. Also called combined heat and power (CHP), cogeneration is the use of a power station to deliver two or more useful forms of energy (e.g. generating electricity and heat at the same time). All conventional, fuel-based plants generate heat as by-product, which is often wasted. Cogeneration captures part of this heat for delivery to consumers. The book gives a tour of the available cogeneration technologies and their features. It provides plenty of instructive examples of cogeneration projects to illustrate key concepts, and also covers the relevant regulatory and legal frameworks. It is an ideal text/reference for anyone working in power systems and energy engineering.
Topics covered include:
* Benefits of cogeneration
* Cogeneration technologies
* Electrical engineering aspects
* Applications of cogeneration
* Fuels for cogeneration systems
* Thermodynamic analysis
* Environmental impacts of cogeneration
* Reliability and availability
* Economic analysis of cogeneration systems
* Regulatory and legal frameworks
* Selection, integration and operation of cogeneration systems
* Simulation and optimisation
* Synthesis, design and operation
* Examples of cogeneration projects
* Research and development of cogeneration
* Summary and conclusions
