COMBINED HEAT AND POWER

摘要

Combined Heat and Power (CHP), or co-generation as it is also known, is the process of capturing and using the waste heat produced by the generation of electricity. This can offer a number of benefits to commercial and public sector properties: 1. CHP can harness the heat wasted in traditional power stations. This can bring overall energy savings of up to 40% 2. Gas-fired CHP is a sustainable way of generating electricity, which can be sold back to the National Grid or fed into a private wire network to supply properties 3. Use of CHP in a community energy scheme helps facilitate planning permissions, meet the requirements of the Code for Sustainable Homes and provides a key element of the carbon management and reduction strategy of an organisation.
