Cogeneration: Technologies, Optimization and Implementation
This book provides 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, fuelbased 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 gives plenty of instructive examples of cogeneration projects to illustrate key concepts, and also covers the relevant regulatory and legal frameworks. 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
Absolutely stunning and flawless. Promoted to one of my all-time favorite books. I've no clue how the author wrote this, but it is absolutely incredible.
