Kogeneraatiolla
Kogeneraatiolla, also known as combined heat and power (CHP) or cogeneration, is a method of generating electricity and useful heat from a single source of fuel. This approach is more efficient than traditional methods of power generation, as it captures and utilizes the waste heat that would otherwise be lost in conventional power plants. The primary advantage of kogeneraatiolla is its high overall efficiency, which can reach up to 85% compared to around 35-40% for traditional power plants. This efficiency is achieved by combining the generation of electricity with the production of heat, which can be used for various applications such as heating buildings, industrial processes, or water heating. Kogeneraatiolla systems are typically used in large-scale industrial applications, district heating systems, and some commercial buildings. The technology can be powered by various fuels, including natural gas, biomass, and even waste materials. The implementation of kogeneraatiolla can lead to significant energy savings, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and lower operational costs for businesses and communities.
