The assessment of gas-fueled cogeneration was initiated to identify research and development opportunities and priorities that would maximize the benefits of cogeneration to the gas consumer and utilities. The work focused primarily on the commercial and multi-family residential market sectors ranging in size from 100 kilowatts (kW) to 10 megawatts (MW). Cogeneration that produced mechanical (shaft horsepower) energy as the primary power was excluded. Significant technical, economic, and market potential for cogeneration systems in the commercial sector was found to exist. In addition, research and development (RandD) efforts can have a beneficial impact on the market potential for cogeneration, particularly in the smaller size ranges (<1 MW). The specific results, conclusions, and impacts cited in the report have led to the recommendation to pursue three areas of RandD (in order of priority): (1) Prepackaged, pre-engineered systems; (2) Analyses of the <100 kW market and technology, the potential for cogeneration at specific sites in specific utility service territories, cogeneration system reliability, characterization of the light industrial market; and (3) Technology development (several specific areas).
