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.

Apparent Power=Active Power+Reactive Power or Active Power=VI Cos(Phase Angle) Reactive Power=VI Sin(Phase Angle) Apparent Power= VI
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 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
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

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.
Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity and useful heat from a single fuel source, typically through the use of a power plant or industrial facility. This process increases energy efficiency by capturing waste heat that would otherwise be released into the environment. Cogeneration systems are also known as combined heat and power (CHP) systems.
Did you mean "cogeneration"?
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.).

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.
All US Federal guildlines apply to Puerto Rico, so tha answer is Yes

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
