Power cogeneration is a method of energy conservation. Specifically, it refers to the process of increasing the efficiency of our energy delivery processes by utilizing wasted heat energy. For example, hot water is an unused product of electric power plants (water is used for cooling purposes). In certain countries, like the US, this hot water is dumped into lakes or rivers. Instead, that hot water can be redirected to heat homes, like in most countries in Europe. This is doubly effective because electricity is used to heat most homes in America, and if we take advantage of waste heated water, we can cut down on our electricity consumption.

Relation between active power plus reactive power plus apparent power?
Apparent Power=Active Power+Reactive Power or Active Power=VI Cos(Phase Angle) Reactive Power=VI Sin(Phase Angle) Apparent Power= VI
Power factor formula?
Power factor is defined as the ratio of real power over total power. Total power is the vector sum of real and reactive power.
If a load takes 50 kW at a power factor of 0.5 lagging Calculate the apparent power and reactive power?
If a load takes 50 kW at a power factor of 0.5 lagging calculate the apparent power and reactive power Answer: Apparent power = Active power / Power Factor In this case, Active power = 50 kW and power factor = 0.5 So Apparent power = 50/0.5 = 100 KVA
Is reactive power greater than true power?
Use a wattmeter, as it only reads 'real power' of your load. Use an ammeter and a voltmeter, and the product of the two readings will give you 'apparent power' of your load. Since apparent power is the vector sum of real power and reactive power, use the following equation to find the reactive power of your load: (reactive power)2 = (apparent power)2 - (real power)2

What does cogeneration mean definition?
The definition of the word 'cogeneration' means that electricity is produced from either an engine or power station and that the electricity is turned into useful heat.
What is cogeneration?
cogeneration- technology of producing two or more forms of energy from a single energy generator.
What is a cogneration?
Did you mean "cogeneration"?
Is it necessary to improve Power Factor in captive generating units?
Potentially. This would depend on the size of the cogeneration, and on the location in the electrical grid. Generally, the larger the cogeneration, the more requirements will be placed on it to act like a typical power plant (specific MVAR/MW output within specified power factor ranges, must stay online for faults, etc.).

What is the difference between combined cycle and cogeneration?
In Cogeneration Plant : The generated steam in boiler is used for both power generation & process heating, thereby reducing the condenstion losses compared to thermal power plant. In combined cycle first is gas turbine , rather than wasting the flue gas from gas turbine, we are sending it into boiler and again generating steam for running steam turbine. Both the ways we are increasing the thermal efficiency of the plant
What is the production of two useful forms of energy from the same fuel source called?
