Small-scale Cogeneration Handbook, 5th Edition, provides practical guidance for evaluating the feasibility and potential benefits of cogeneration for facilities. The volume reviews how combined heat and power systems can convert up to 90 percent of fuel burned into usable energy, compared to approximately 52 percent achieved by conventional power plants paired with separate hot water heating systems.
Coverage addresses system selection and sizing, installation logistics, operation and maintenance, and common project pitfalls. The text also examines regulatory developments, permitting requirements, and financing structures.
To aid technical evaluations, this edition provides access to a software program designed to assist in determining the economic value of applying cogeneration.
