CHP SELF ANALYSIS

摘要

Two techniques are described for preliminary screening of facilities to determine potential cost and energy savings from implementing combined cooling, heating, and power. The first technique can be performed with a simple hand-held calculator and employs average costs for equipment, power, and fuel. The second technique employs a simulation tool run on a desktop computer. It draws upon extensive databases for equipment cost and performance, utility rates, and calculated building electrical and thermal loads.
