Abstract :
It is possible to operate power stations with thermal efficiencies approaching 85% in the combined heat and power (CHP) mode, where electricity and heat energy are produced. This heat may be made available as process steam for industrial complexes or in the form of hot water for use in commercial and domestic space and water heating. An environmental assessment is made of a number of existing and potential CHP schemes. The relevant legislation in the United Kingdom is discussed, along with emission control systems used to comply with these regulations.
