Types and Classification of Cogeneration Systems
Q. Give Classification of Co-generation system on the basis of sequence of use and use of technology.
This classification is based on different criteria
Symbols Used :
1. Turbine unit similar to this symbol of compressor.
It has rotary blades on the shaft and input energy is impinged on the blades converted into rotation i.e. mechanical energy.
2. Generator Unit :
Coupled to turbine and rotated by turbine converting mechanical input into electrical output.
3. Coupling :
Two shafts are mechanically coupled (say turbine shaft and generator shaft) together for transferring mechanical mechanical power from one machine to the other machine.
4. Boiler :
Dome, closed chamber boils water to form steam.
