Introduction What s a Cogeneration/CHP System? The sequel generation of multiple forms of useful energy in one integrated system Defined by its prime movers that is the equipment driving the system Prime movers include reciprocating engines, combustion or gas turbines, steam turbines, microturbines, and fuel cells 3

Introduction Benefits of Cogeneration (CHP): Increased efficiency of energy conversion and use Lower emissions, especially CO2 Some waste materials such as refinery gases, process or agricultural waste can be used Large cost savings Opportunity to decentralize the electricity generation, particularly for natural gas systems One of the most important vehicles for promoting liberalization in energy markets 5
Type of Cogeneration System Steam Turbine Cogeneration System Widely used in CHP applications This is the oldest prime mover technology with capacities from 50 kw to hundreds of MWs for large plants The thermodynamic cycle is the Rankin cycle that uses a boiler Most common are backpressure and extraction condensing types, choice depends on quantities of power and heat, quality of heat and economic factors 6
Type of Cogeneration System Back Pressure Steam Turbine Steam exits the turbine at a higher pressure that the atmospheric Boiler HP Steam Turbine Advantages: -Simple configuration -Low capital cost -Low need of cooling water -High total efficiency Fuel Condensate Process LP Steam Disadvantages: -Larger steam turbine -Electrical load and output can not be matched Figure: Back pressure steam turbine
Type of Cogeneration System Extraction Condensing Steam Turbine Steam obtained by extraction from a intermediate stage Remaining steam is exhausted Relatively high capital cost, lower total efficiency Control of electrical power independent of thermal load HP Steam Boiler Turbine Fuel LP Steam Condensate Process Condenser Figure: Extraction condensing steam turbine 8
Type of Cogeneration System Gas Turbine Cogeneration System Operates on the thermodynamic Brayton cycle by using the excess power produced that is not consumed by the compressor Natural gas is the most common fuel and the typical range varies from a fraction of 1MW to 100 MW Thanks to rapid developments it has gained technology progress, cost reductions and greater environmental performance 9

Cogeneration Classification Topping Cycle The supplied fuel first produces power followed by thermal energy Thermal energy is a byproduct used for process heat or other This is the most popular method of cogeneration 11
Cogeneration Classification Bottoming Cycle Primary fuel produces high temperature thermal energy The rejected heat is used to generate power through a recovery boiler and turbine generator Suitable for manufacturing processes and used in cement, steel, ceramic, gas and petrochemical industries 12
Performance evaluation Performance Terms & Definitions Overall Plant Heat Rate (kcal/kwh): Ms x ( hs hw) Power Output ( kw) Ms = Mass Flow Rate of Steam (kg/hr) hs = Enthalpy of Steam (kcal/kg) hw = Enthalpy of Feed Water (kcal/kg) Overall Plant Fuel Rate (kg/kwh) Fuel Consumption * ( kg/ Power Output ( kw) hr) 13
Energy Efficiency Opportunities Steam Turbine Cogeneration System a) Condenser vacuum Most important factor as small deviations can result in significant efficiency changes Reasons for changes include differences in cooling water inlet temperature and flow, fouled condenser tubes or air leaks b) Steam temperature and pressure Variations can be due to errors in plant design c) Part load operation and starting & stopping Operations of certain loads for certain periods have major influences on thermal efficiency 14
Energy Efficiency Opportunities Gas Turbine Cogeneration System a) Gas temperature and pressure Gas temperature and conditions at the gas turbine inlet may inhibit efficiency b) Part load operation and starting & stopping Operations of certain loads for certain periods have major influences on thermal efficiency When the plant comes on and off line affect thermal efficiency due to energy losses c) Other Other factors include changes in temperatures, high mass flows and pressure changes 15
