What is CHP?
Generation of electric (or shaft) and thermal energy
from a single source
Use of both electric (or shaft) and thermal energy
from a single source at one location
Examples

chilled water
Is it a Technical Fit?
Available space to install CHP package
Base load application (8760 operating schedule)
Single electric point of service
Electric point of service large enough to use full generator output

basis
Items to Watch
Emissions
Non-attainment (usually 10 ppmvd or less on NOx)
NOx abatement/exhaust clean-up required
Water Injection
Steam Injection
DLE (catalytic combustion)
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)

Items to Watch
Fuel Supply
Liquid Fuels
Viscosity and heating value
Sulfur and other contaminants
Supply volumes and on-site storage
Gaseous Fuels
Supply pressure GT typically require 200 to 250 psig
Low pressure gas requires a compressor increases capital expense
and annual operating costs
Adequate volume and delivery system available from LDC
Gas quality and heating value should be evaluated
Gas temperature available
Interruptible gas supply dual fuel unit may be required
Items to Watch
Thermal System
Sudden changes in steam or thermal fluid flows
Required steam pressures GT systems are easier to integrate with
high pressure steam systems and high temperature thermal fluids
Back-up of thermal systems during GT preventative maintenance
