Is CHP the same as cogeneration?
Distributed Energy Program: Frequently Asked QuestionsCHP and cogeneration are basically the same thing, although cogeneration has been identified with district heating and large utility owned power plants or industrial power production and plant operation. CHP is generally a smaller scale, privately owned operation. It frequently refers to generation of heat and power for university campuses, military bases, hospitals, and hotels.
Related QuestionsWhy is there so much interest in CHP?
Distributed Energy Program: Frequently Asked QuestionsThere are two different driving forces behind CHP. First, recent problems in electrical supply and distribution have heightened concerns about availability and cost of electricity. These have led in turn to interest in distributed generation and subsequently use of waste heat from power generation. The Department of Energy is interested in CHP because of "resource efficiency.
Related QuestionsWhat is CHP?
FAQ on Fuel Cell Energy, Tubular Generators, and Solid Oxide...CHP means Combined Heat and Power. Energy conversion devices generally generate both electricity and heat. In most large power plants, traditionally only the electricity was fed into the grid and the heat was not utilized. CHP means using both the electricity generated from a fuel, thus allowing more efficient use of all the energy stored in the fuel.

Related QuestionsWhat is combined heat and power, CHP?
Distributed Energy Program: Frequently Asked QuestionsCombined heat and power (CHP) is the sequential generation of electric and thermal energy from a common energy source. CHP systems recover heat that normally would be wasted in an electricity generator, and save the fuel that would otherwise be used to produce heat or steam in a separate unit.

Related QuestionsWhat is the difference between CHP, CCHP, BCHP, DER, IES?
Distributed Energy Program: Frequently Asked QuestionsMany new terms and acronyms are entering common usage that mean basically the same thing, generation of electricity near the customer's facility so that waste heat can be recovered and used. The terms differ in where the emphasis is placed. CCHP stresses that combined cooling, heating, and power production occur, whereas combined heating and power in CHP may or may not use the recovered heat for cooling purposes.
Related QuestionsHow do desiccant dehumidifiers use waste heat in a CHP system?
Distributed Energy Program: Frequently Asked QuestionsDesiccant materials can be heated to remove water vapor from them. This is done in a practical application by building the desiccant into a wheel that rotates through the building supply and exhaust air. For example, supply air being brought into a building is passed through the left side of the wheel where it absorbs water vapor. Exhaust air is heated and blown through the right side of the wheel and then vented outdoors removing water vapor from the desiccant.

Related QuestionsCan the Fuelstretcher save fuel for CHP units?
FuelstretcherNot directly, but most CHPs work with back-up boilers, which can be controlled in an energy-effective way by the Fuelstretcher. Most importantly the Fuelstretcherâ??s effect on the heating system is to reduce or eliminate the frequency at which the CHP dumps waste heat if return temperatures are too high for engine cooling.
