Topics: Energy : Cogeneration
Cogeneration: a process that converts a fuel into both thermal and electrical energy. The thermal energy may be in the form of steam, hot water, or hot air, or any combination of the three. This term is becoming obsolete, and is gradually moving towards the "CHP" (combined heat and power) term. Also includes District Energy: "District energy systems produce steam, hot water or chilled water at a central plant and then pipe that energy out to buildings in the district."
Micro CHP
Combined heat and power (CHP) is the simultaneous generation of useful heat and electricity. Micro CHP systems replace the boiler in conventional central heating systems (typically single household).
