| Combined Heat & Power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, total energy, and combined cycle, is the concurrent production of heat and power, utilizing one primary fuel. CHP is a proven technology that has been around for over one hundred years. CHP plants can reach systems efficiencies in excess of 80%. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| CHP systems have been designed for numerous applications. Large-scale systems can be built on-site at a plant , or off-site. Off-site plants need to be close enough to a steam customer (or municipal steam loop) to cover the cost of a steam pipeline. Industrial or commercial facility owners can operate the plants. Manufacturers use 90% of all CHP systems. Some industries and waste incinerators operators who own their own equipment realize sizable profits with CHP. | |||||||||||||||||||||
