Cogeneration can now turn up to 90% of the fuel burned into usable
energy - compared to just 52% of the fuel typically burned in a local
power plant and in a separate existing hot water heating system. The
fifth edition of this comprehensive reference provides a wealth of
information to assist you in evaluating the feasibility and potential
benefits of cogeneration for your facility. Covered are recent
regulatory developments and their impact, system selection and sizing,
permitting requirements, operation and maintenance, financing,
technology basics, micro turbines, absorption chillers, distributed
generation, and numerous case histories.
This new edition is updated with new material and comes with access to a
useful program that can help determine the economic value of applying
cogeneration for your clients' benefit.
