COMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP)FOCUS ON DISTRIBUTED GENERATION

Stevens Institute of TechnologyMechanical Engineering DepartmentProf. Siva ThangamSupported by:  National Science Foundation

My Research Combined Heat and Power

Utilization of waste heat from the production of power.

Distributed generation Generation of electricity near the intended

place of use

An approach for achieving a sustainable energy future

How a Power Plant Works

Conventional Distribution

Combined Heat and Power

Selecting the Right Equipment

Design: ThermodynamicsConservation of Energy

IN OUT

What goes in = What comes out(in one form or another)

The Quality of Energy

Quality is the ability to perform useful work

Electrical energy is worth more than heat energy

Design: Economics

IN OUT

Define a new term: Exergy Commonly referred to as “Availability” A measure of the effort that was put in Accounts for the quality of energy

Model, Simulate, Optimize

Electricity, Volatility!
