Cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) is the simultaneous production of electricity with the recovery and utilization of waste heat. Cogeneration is a highly efficient form of energy conversion and it can achieve primary energy savings of approximately 40% by compared to the separate purchase of electricity from the national electricity grid and a gas boiler for onsite heating. Combined heat and power plants are typically embedded close to the end-user and therefore help reduce transportation and distribution losses. Trigeneration is also the simultaneous production of electricity with heating and cooling loads.

Advantages of Cogeneration

• It is possible to get overall efficiencies up to 90%.
• Thanks to better efficiency and clean fuel, cogeneration is the most environmentally-friendly energy solution.
•  It serves a high-quality power supply to the owner.
• The plant may not be affected in case of any failure thanks to single connection to the grid. (Parallel mod)
• Better efficiency due to no transportation losses.
• Owners do not have to pay taxes on illegal usages.
• Reactive energy and compensation costs decrease.
• Smaller capacity backup generator.
• Reduced dependence on foreign fuel due to high efficiencies.
