2、 7.48OMBINED heat and power (CHP) is the simultaneous produc-Ction of electrical or mechanical energy (power) and usefulthermal energy from a single energy source. By capturing and usingthe recovered heat energy from an effluent stream that would other-wise be rejected to the environment, CHP (or co

3、generation) systemscan operate at utilization efficiencies greater than those achievedwhen heat and power are produced in separate processes, thus con-tributing to sustainable building solutions.Recovered thermal energy from fuel used in reciprocatingengines, steam or combustion turbines (including

4、microturbines,which are typically less than 500 kW in capacity), Stirling engines,or fuel cells can be used in the following applications: Direct heating: exhaust gases or coolant fluids used directly fordrying processes, to drive an exhaust-fired absorption chiller, toregenerate desiccant materials

5、 in a dehumidifier, or to operate abottoming cycleIndirect heating: exhaust gases or coolant fluids used to heat a sec-ondary fluid (e.g., steam or hot water) for devices, to generatepower, or to power various thermally activated technologiesLatent heat: extracting the latent heat of condensation fr

6、om arecovered flow of steam when the load served allows condensa-tion (e.g., a steam-to-water exchanger) instead of rejecting thelatent heat to a cooling tower (e.g., a full condensing turbine witha cooling tower)There are many potential applications, including base-loadpower, peaking power where on

7、-site power generation (distributedgeneration) is used to reduce the demand or high on-peak energycharges imposed by the electric energy supplier, back-up power,remote power, power quality, and CHP, providing both electricityand thermal needs to the site. Usually, customers own the small-scale, on-s

8、ite power generators, but third parties may own andoperate the equipment. Table 1 provides an overview of typicalapplications, technologies and uses of distributed generation(DG) and CHP systems.On-site CHP systems are small compared to typical central sta-tion power plants. DG systems are inherentl

9、y modular, which makesdistributed power highly flexible and able to provide power whereand when it is needed. DG and CHP systems can offer significantbenefits, depending on location, rate structures, and application.Typical advantages of an on-site CHP plant include improved powerreliability and qua

10、lity, reduced energy costs, increased predictabil-ity of energy costs, lowered financial risk, use of renewable energysources, reduced emissions, and faster response to new powerdemands because capacity additions can be made more quickly.CHP system efficiency is not as simple as adding outputs anddi

11、viding by fuel inputs. Nevertheless, using what is normally wasteexhaust heat yields overall efficiencies (O) of 50 to 70% or more(for a definition of overall efficiency, see the section on Perfor-mance Parameters).CHP can operate on a topping, bottoming, or combined cycle.Figure 1 shows an example

12、of topping and bottoming configura-tions. In a topping cycle, energy from the fuel generates shaft orelectric power first, and thermal energy from the exiting stream isrecovered for other applications such as process heat for cooling orheating systems. In a bottoming cycle, shaft or electric power i

13、sgenerated last from thermal energy left over after higher-level ther-mal energy has been used to satisfy thermal loads. A typical toppingcycle recovers heat from operation of a prime mover and uses thisthermal energy for the process (cooling and/or heating). A bottom-ing cycle recovers heat from th

14、e process to generate power. A com-bined cycle uses thermal output from a prime mover to generateadditional shaft power (e.g., combustion turbine exhaust generatessteam for a steam turbine generator).Grid-isolated CHP systems, in which electrical output is used onsite to satisfy all site power and t

15、hermal requirements, are referredto as total energy systems. Grid-parallel CHP systems, which areactively tied to the utility grid, can, on a contractual or tariff basis,exchange power with or reduce load on (thus reducing capacitydemand) the public utility. This may eliminate or lessen the need for

16、redundant on-site back-up generating capacity and allows operationat maximum thermal efficiency when satisfying the facilitys ther-mal load; this may produce more electric power than the facilityneeds.The preparation of this chapter is assigned to TC 1.10, CogenerationSystems.
