Cogeneration energy systems assessment. Volume I: technical discussion. Final report Apr 81-Jan 82

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6857435
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 mechnical (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 (R and D) efforts can have a beneficial impact on the market potential for cogeneration, particularly in the smaller size ranges (<1MW).
