All Cogeneration and Combined Heat and Power

Plants and units that make electricity and useful heat from the same fuel, from large cogeneration stations and micro combined heat and power to integrated water and power plants. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes cogeneration or combined production of heat and power. These plants use the heat that a generating unit would otherwise discard, so that one fuel supplies both electricity and useful heat, at a scale from a whole power station down to a single building. A technology is placed here by the combined heat and power role the cited article describes.

Quote, Has Member: Micro Combined Heat and Power, Lead
Micro combined heat and power, micro-CHP, μCHP or mCHP is an extension of the idea of cogeneration to the single/multi family home or small office building in the range of up to 50 kW. Usual technologies for the production of heat and power in one common process are e.g. internal combustion engines, micro gas turbines, stirling engines or fuel cells.
