Power plants located close to large heat load centers are good candidates for conversion to simultaneous production of electric power and heat. Two major modification options, retrofit of existing turbine-generators and replacement of existing turbine-generators with specially designed district heating units, are discussed for two coal-fired power plant units. The study found no technical barrier to conversion, but found that about three and a half times more heat can be extracted from units designed specifically for cogeneration than from modified units. 3 figures, 3 tables.
