What is the production of two useful forms of energy from the same fuel source called?

Cogeneration, or combined heat and power (CHP), is the production of electricity and useful thermal energy (such as heat or steam) from the same fuel source in a single process. This process increases the overall efficiency of energy production compared to separate generation methods.


What is use of energy resources in ways that are most productive called?

The efficient use of energy resources in ways that maximize output or benefit is referred to as energy productivity. This involves optimizing the use and management of energy resources to achieve more with less energy input.


What is an example of cogeneration?

Co-generation is the use of the heat energy from a source to provide power (steam or electricity) then to use the waste heat to provide heat for other processes (comfort heating, energy for processing, air or water preheating, etc.). This is becoming more common. Even in homes heat from furnaces is passed through heat exchangers to heat incoming air ro the furnace. in industry has often used the energy produced in its own processes for steam and electricity then shared the low temperature steam with communities for domestic heating or greenhouses. In Scandinavian countries there is at least one example of a funeral home crematorium using gas fired ovens for body disposal, then capturing the heat for power and heat.


What is the source of energy to generate electrical energy in a fossil fuel power plant?

Cogeneration simply means generating your own electrical power that is used to supplement power from the electric utility. Almost any type of energy can be used locally to cogenerate power. Chemical energy in the form of diesel fuel, gasoline, natural gas, and others. Waste heat from an industrial process such as heat-treating or waste material from a manufacturing process such as wood chips can be burned and the heat used to run a steam turbine. wind power solar energy - photovoltaic power geothermal hydroelectric And many others.

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
