Abstract

This book provides an introduction to all aspects of combined heat and power (CHP) thermodynamics, design, economics, and utilization. Special emphasis is placed on the performance of the combined heat and power plant compared with conventional plants. It also looks at the economic considerations in combined heat and power utilization. There are numerous CHP installations now in commission, and where applicable the text refers to illustrative practical examples of CHP use.

Combined-cycle gas and steam turbine power plants. 2. edition

Book Kehlhofer, R; Bachmann, R; Nielson, H; ...

First published in 1991, this book is the leading reference on technical and economic factors of combined-cycle applications now leading the trend toward merchant plants and the peaking power needed in newly deregulated markets around the world, this long-awaited second edition is more important than ever. In it, Kehlhofer -- an internationally recognized authority in the field of new combined-cycle power plants -- and his co-authors widen the scope and detail found in the first edition. Included are tips on system layout, details on controls and automation, and operating instructions. Loaded with case studies, reference tables, and more than 150more »« less
Energy System and Thermoeconomic Analysis of Combined Heat and Power High Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Systems for Light Commercial Buildings

Journal Article Colella, Whitney; Pilli, Siva - Journal of Fuel Cell Science and Technology, 12(3):Article No. 031008

The United States (U.S.) Department of Energy (DOE)’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is spearheading a program with industry to deploy and independently monitor five kilowatt-electric (kWe) combined heat and power (CHP) fuel cell systems (FCSs) in light commercial buildings. This publication discusses results from PNNL’s research efforts to independently evaluate manufacturer-stated engineering, economic, and environmental performance of these CHP FCSs at installation sites. The analysis was done by developing parameters for economic comparison of CHP installations. Key thermodynamic terms are first defined, followed by an economic analysis using both a standard accounting approach and a management accounting approach. Keymore »« less

Transient stability of power systems: Theory and practice

Book Pavella, M; Murthy, P

The transient stability of power systems is an extremely intricate and highly nonlinear problem. Traditionally confined to the planning and design of power systems, transient stability studies are now increasingly important in operational planning and real-time operation. This comprehensive text: provides the reader with an in-depth account of the transient stability problem, its physical description, its theoretical formulation and assessment; discusses issues of practical interest; in particular, synchronous machine and load modeling, evaluation of machine parameters and saturation effects, tools to improve stability; provides an extensive coverage of both conventional and nonconventional methods of analysis; practical examples and simulation resultsmore »« less
Guide to Combined Heat and Power Systems for Boiler Owners and Operators

Technical Report Oland, CB

Combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration is the sequential production of two forms of useful energy from a single fuel source. In most CHP applications, chemical energy in fuel is converted to both mechanical and thermal energy. The mechanical energy is generally used to generate electricity, while the thermal energy or heat is used to produce steam, hot water, or hot air. Depending on the application, CHP is referred to by various names including Building Cooling, Heating, and Power (BCHP); Cooling, Heating, and Power for Buildings (CHPB); Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power (CCHP); Integrated Energy Systems (IES), or Distributedmore »« less

Power plant siting

Book Winter, J; Conner, D

Just to keep up with expected demand, the US will need over 500 new power generation units by 1985. Where these power plants will be located is the subject of heated debate among utility officials, government leaders, conservationists, concerned citizens and a multitude of special interest groups. This book offers a balanced review of all of the salient factors that must be taken into consideration in selecting power plant locations. To deal with this enormously complex subject, the authors (1) offer a general overview of the history and reasoning behind present legislation on the state and national levels; (2) describemore »« less
