The generation of electricity and other energy jointly, esp. the utilization of the steam left over from electricity generation to produce heat,
  1. The generation of electricity and other energy jointly, esp. the utilization of the steam left over from electricity generation to produce heat


  1. Cogeneration (also combined heat and power, CHP) is the use of a heat engine or a power station to simultaneously generate both electricity and useful heat. It is one of the most common forms of energy recycling.
  2. The production of heat and/or power from the waste energy of an industrial process; The simultaneous or serial production of heat and electricity from the same source
  3. (cogenerate) To generate two forms of energy simultaneously
  4. The production of electrical energy and another form of useful energy (such as heat of steam) through the sequential use of energy.
  5. The generation of electricity or shaft power by an energy conversion system and the concurrent use of rejected thermal energy from the conversion system as an auxiliary energy source.
  6. Production of two useful forms of energy such as high-temperature heat and electricity from the same process. For example, while boiling water to generate electricity, the leftover steam can be sold for industrial processes or space heating.
  7. Generating electricity and thermal energy (heating and/or cooling) simultaneously
  8. Utilization of heat or kinetic force as by-product. Heat drives steam turbines; kinetic force produces electricity through a generator.
  9. the simultaneous generation of both electric power and heat; the heat, instead of being discharged without further use, is used in some fashion (e.g., in district heating systems).
  10. harnessing heat that would otherwise be wasted in the fuel combustion process, producing two useful outputs: heat and power.
  11. Primary source of energy that is also used to produce a secondary source of energy. Example The use of waste heat from an electrical energy generation system to heat a building.
  12. Using a particular fuel, this clean technology is used to produce electricity and thermal energy at the same time.
  13. a term used for units that are designed for economics generating both steam energy and power.
  14. the use of waste heat from an electrical generating plant for other purposes, such as heating. Also, the use of waste heat from a high-temperature industrial process to generate electricity.
  15. Simultaneous or sequential production of two or more forms of useful energy from a single primary energy source.
  16. This is electricity that is generated essentially as a by-product of an industrial process.
  17. The use of high-pressure steam from a turbo-generator set for an industrial process. The production of electricity is usually secondary to the requirements of the industrial process.
  18. A power plant that is designed to conserve energy by using "waste heat" from generating electricity for another purpose, for example to thermal desalination or to warm SWRO feed water.
  19. The joint production and use of electricity and heat. Typically, electricity is the primary output of such large facilities as power plants. As a byproduct, heat can be used in food processing, district heating, or oil recovery. In contrast, industrial or small systems (e.g. ...
  20. Production of electricity from steam, heat, or other forms of energy produced as a by-product of another process.
  21. (1) Any of several processes which either use waste heat produced by generating electricity to satisfy heating needs or that process waste heat to generate electricity or produce mechanical energy. ...
  22. A common energy source is used to produce both electricity and steam for other uses, resulting in increased fuel efficiency.
  23. Cogeneration is producing fuel for two different uses at once, such as energy for direct heat and for electricity uses.
  24. Taking one main power source, and by capturing excess steam and heat, producing more than one type of energy. In the case of MATEP, the diesel engines are the main power source, producing electricity, chilled water and steam.
  25. Uses surplus steam produced during the power generating process to supply a customer with steam for use in that customer’s operations.
