Form of Electrical and Power Cogeneration Systems
In this paper, the reductions are investigated in energy use and environmental emissions achievable when cogeneration is applied using the facilities of electrical utilities. These reductions are illustrated for several cases when cogeneration is implemented by Ontario Hydro, the principal electrical utility in the province of Ontario, Canada. The work reported here relates to other recent studies by the author and others of the potential benefits of utility-based cogeneration in Ontario. Here, cogeneration refers to the simultaneous production of two energy forms (electricity, and heat in the form of steam and/or hot water) from one energy source (e.g., a fossil fuel ...
