Co-generation Becomes More Attractive and Meaningful
It becomes more attractive due to following factors :
- Cheaper in cost.
- Layout and design be simple.
- It should meet both power and heat energy needs.
- Helps to minimize grid stability.
- Possible to implement as cost effective manner.
- A much more efficient use of primary energy can be achieved as compared to separate production of electricity and heat.
- Overall efficiency of the plant increases.
- In cogeneration heat is a byproduct in main electricity generating system plant.
- Reduction in emission of pollutants due to reduced fuel consumption.
- Due to de-centralization of electricity, it avoids transmission losses and makes the system more flexible.
