2. Cogeneration or combined heat and power (CHP) is
the use of a heat engine or powerstation to generate
electricity and useful heat at the same time.
Trigeneration or combined cooling, heat and
power (CCHP) refers to the simultaneous generation
of electricity and useful heating and cooling from the
combustion of a fuel or a solar heat collector.
The terms cogeneration and trigeneration can be also
applied to the power systems generating
simultaneously electricity, heat, and industrial
chemicals
3. COGENERATION TECHNOLOGY USED IN
• PRISONS
• HOSPITALS
• DATA CENTERS
• INDUSTRIAL UNITS
• MILITARY APPLICATIONS
• WASTE WATER TREATMENT
4. ADVANTAGES OF COGENERATION
• Cogeneration helps to improve the efficiency of the
plant.
• Cogeneration reduce air emissions of particulate
matter, nitrous oxides, sulphur dioxide, mercury and
carbon dioxide which would otherwise leads to
greenhouse effect.
• It reduces cost of production and improve productivity.
• Cogeneration system helps to save water consumption
and water costs.
• Cogeneration system is more economical as compared
to conventional power plant.
• optimizes ecological and economical benefits in the
power generation

6. • Cogeneration systems that combine the power and heat
generation processes can be up to 80 percent efficient. In
addition to reducing carbon emissions and contributing to
sustainability goals, cogeneration offers many other benefits,
including:
• Enhancing operational efficiency to lower overhead costs
• Reducing energy waste, thereby increasing energy efficiency
• Offering greater energy independence by moving a portion of
the load off the grid
• Allowing companies to replace aging infrastructure
• When combined with a renewable fuel supply, such as
biomass or biogas, cogeneration is an environmentally
responsible source of reliable, base load generation. These
benefits have attracted the attention of many large-scale
facilities.
7. Waste heat recovery unit
• A waste heat recovery unit (WHRU) is an energy
recovery heat exchanger that transfers heat from
process outputs at high temperature to another
part of the process for some purpose, usually
increased efficiency.
• The WHRU is a tool involved in cogeneration.
Waste heat may be extracted from sources such as
hot flue gases from a diesel generator, steam
from cooling towers, or even waste water from
cooling processes such as in steel cooling.
8. Primary Benefits of Waste-Heat
Recovery Waste-heat recovery
• • Reduces energy costs: All recovered waste heat directly
replaces purchased energy, thereby reducing energy costs
• • Reduces cost of capital equipment: Reuse of waste heat allows
for the use of smaller energy conversion equipment capacity,
often resulting in savings in capital expenditures offsetting the
cost of the heat recovery system
• • Reduces operating costs: Since waste heat recovery reduces
energy costs and often also reduces capital costs, it reduces
operating costs;
• • Reduces environmental impact: Because all waste-heat
recovery directly replaces purchased energy, it also reduces the
environmental impact on air and water
• • Reduces GHG emissions: Waste-heat recovery by industry
reduces GHG emissions associated with industrial operation;
9. APPLICATIONS OF RESIDUAL HEAT

Preheating( of combustion air, boiler feed
water,water)
Load preheating
Power generation
Steam generation
Space heating
Transfer to liquid or gaseous process steams
10. CLASSIFICATION OF RESIDUAL HEAT
ENERGY BASED ON TEMPERATURE
RANGE
Ultra low temp : less than 120°C
Low temp : 120°C to 230°C
Medium temp: 230°C to 650°C
High temp: Greater than 650°C
Ultra high temp : Greater than 870°C
11. RESIDUAL HEAT SOURCES FROM
PROCESS HEATING EQUIPMENT
HOT GASES : Temp Greater than 650°C
Sensible – latent heat in heated product : temp
230°C - 650°C . It is more compatable with heat
exchanger
Cooling water or other liquids : Less than 230°C
Radiation –convective heat loss : Less than 230°C
It is a low grade waste heat.
Hot air or gas from cooling/heating system: temp
range of 38°C to higher than Less than 260°C
12. • Heat losses in providing chill water or in the
disposal of chilled water.
• Heat stored in the products leaving the
process.
13. Three “R” of Residual Heat
• Waste heat REDUCTION within
the system or equipment
• Waste heat RECYCLING
• Waste heat RECOVERY within the
plant or industrial complex
21. RESIDUAL HEAT TO POWER
CONVERSION
Conversion steam power plant using
a Rankine cycle
Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) plant
Ammonia-water systems (i.e., Kalina,
Neogen systems)
Thermo-electric power generation
(TEG)
32. Application of Thermoelectric
Generators
For increasing the fuel efficiency of cars,
thermoelectric generators are used. These
generator use heat produced when the vehicle
is running.
Seebeck Power Generation is used to supply
power to spacecrafts.
These generators are used to supply power to
remote stations like weather stations, relay
stations etc.
33. HIGH-TO-ULTRA-HIGH-TEMPERATURE
HEAT RECOVERY EQUIPMENTS
• A Recuperative Heat Exchanger
(Recuperators) has separate flow paths for each
fluid and fluids flow simultaneously through the
exchanger exchanging heat across the wall
separating the flow paths.
• A Regenerative Heat Exchanger has a single flow
path, which the hot and cold fluids alternately
pass through.

35. Five Types of Recuperator
Convective recuperator
Metallic recuperator
Radiation / Convective recuperator
Ceramic recuperator
Special recuperator called self-
recuperative burners
51. Operation and maintenance

Cost of mobilization, demobilization and
