This means a plant that produces electricity and also thermal energy for district heating or something similar in an industrial plant. Gas turbines are used for such plants, the exhaust gases are still hot enough to provide useful thermal energy.

This is a cogeneration power station.

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 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 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
Why bagasse is used?
it is used because of prower production, with out investing money. It is said to be cogeneration plant.
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"?
Who invented cogeneration?
Ing Palazzetti from Italy
In a power plant energy is lost as what?
Energy is lost as heat. A typical nuclear power plant produces about twice as much energy as waste heat as it does in electricity. Other power plants are not much better, except for such things as more modern gas plants, which can used combined cycle to recover some of the lost heat (nuclear could too) and even do cogeneration use more waste heat to heat buildings (which nuclear plants probably cannot).
How efficient are conventional power plants?
Efficiency of power plants is usually measured as a ratio of the total amount of electrical power produced divided by the total amount of heat generated, expressed as a percentage. Thus, if a power plant produces 100 MWh thermal, and this is converted to 38 MWh of electricity, the plant is 38% efficient. Most power plants are 35% to 40% efficient. This is true for nuclear as well as fossil fuel plants. Some plants are much more efficient. A natural gas plant, used in a situation with cogeneration, can be as much as 65% efficient. The lost heat is put into the environment and is referred to as thermal pollution.
