Combined Heat & Power Goals: Reduce emissions while increasing overall fuel usage
for producing power Provide space heating using waste heat from power
production Provide chilled water with absorption cooling which
utilizes the waste heat from power production Reduce fossil fuel usage Determine feasibility of a payback period
Decrease annual operating cost

What is Combined Heat and Power? Electricity is generated on site by a prime mover Waste heat is used for the heating and cooling processes CHP typically runs at a lower operating cost but has a higher first cost Load leveling increases operating efficiency
Main Components of Combined Heat and Power? Prime Movers (gas turbines, reciprocating engines, etc.) Absorption Chillers Chilled Water Storage Tanks Cooling Towers Pumps and Distribution

Spark Gap Feasibility Analysis? Determination of difference between natural gas and electricity cost:
Natural Gas:
$1.33/therm
Electricity:
$0.0919/kWh
$26.94 - $13.30 = $13.64
A spark gap of $12.00 or greater is usually considered a viable solution.

Natural Gas Micro-turbine & Absorption Chiller Selection Integrated micro-turbine and chiller/heater power system Comes as packaged unit integrated with controls Unit made up of 60 kW micro-turbines Heat exchanger contained within the absorption chiller Good under part load condition as micro-turbines can be
selectively turned off or on as needed Fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines Typically reduced emissions over internal combustion
engines Integrated inverter optimizes efficiency Integrated system allows for reduced installation cost.
