Cogeneration in the People's Republic of China

Journal Article · · Energy J.; (United States)
Cogeneration in the People's Republic of China represents about 5000 MW of steam capacity, or about 11% of all steam generated. Central station plants supply about 11% (73,480 teracolories in 1980) of national heating demand, saving 3-4 million tons of coal. Increasing cogeneration will help to raise energy efficiency in China above its current level of half that of advanced countries. Cogeneration plans include new designs for 100 and 200 MW units, larger back pressure units, and back pressure units with extraction. Regional boiler hoses offer the best strategy for district heating. Cogeneration could save fuel and money, but at the expense of environmental and administrative impacts. 3 references.
