Overview: Approximately two-thirds of the fuel used to generate electricity in the U.S. is wasted in the form of discarded heat. This document provides a technological overview on combined heat and power (CHP) systems that produce electricity or mechanical power and recapture waste heat for process use. Various technologies are used in generating CHP, including boilers, steam turbines, combustion turbines, spark ignition engines, diesel engines, microturbines, fuel cells, absorption chillers, desiccants, engine driven chillers, and gasification.
