Definition of Polygeneration
CHP is the simultaneous production of Heat & Power derived from a single or multiple source of fuel/energy.
Polygeneration is the use of multiple energy inputs to create multiple energy outputs.
CharteredConsulting Engineers
Grid Power Conventional
Embedded Power Trigeneration?
Why Trigeneration
CharteredConsulting Engineers
Grid Supply Energy Efficiency Limitations
Grid electrical efficiency use on site is limited to thepower station efficiency minus distribution losses e.g. 40% - 4% = 36% (Max Available)The waste heat from the power stations have historically not been captured / used waste energy.CHP has opportunities to use this waste energy and can accordingly improve the thermal efficiencyon applications compared to grid electrical supplyreaching efficiencies of =>80%
CharteredConsulting Engineers
Conventional Systems
• ή Power station 40-45%• ή transmission = - 3%• ή Power to site = 37- 42%
• ή Loss = 63% – 58%
2/3 energy is lost
CharteredConsulting Engineers
Conventional Systems
• ή Power station 40-45%• ή transmission = - 3%• ή Power to site = 37- 42%
• ή Loss = 63% – 58%
2/3 energy is lost Energy Act - 80% reduction in energy use by 2050How can we achieve it !
CharteredConsulting Engineers
The key design Good Quality CHP (GQCHP)
The target energy usage should ideally have a ratio of heat/power requirements, which are as closely in phase with the ratio of heat and power delivered by the CHP plant through all the production capacities / demand.
The Measure is Good Quality CHP ( My Rule of thumb)Index = 200 Electrical Efficiency + 125 Thermal Efficiency > 100
GQCHP Avoids payment of climate change levy (CCL)
CharteredConsulting Engineers
CHP the Success Criteria
Continuous and matched heat & electrical supply & demand Suitable ratio of energy demand/supplyCurrently Spark Gap (electrical cost / fuel cost) > 3.0 CO2 emission reduction – Tax advantagesImproved security of supplyInterruptible energy supply cost savings - supply security Suitable relative capital incentive – mains supplyRelative maintenance costs not a significant penalty Projected life cycle costs are attractive comparedto conventional.
CharteredConsulting Engineers
Some Applications of CHP The plant electrical or part load supply plus Water/Fluid heating – Process industry, adjacent heating, space heating, food cooking/ pasteurisationSteam raising – district heating, process heatingCO2 + electricity + heat for horticulture
Drying - direct – milk, process - indirect – waste sludge, - secondary processes

Commercial Considerations for Successful CHP Applications
e.g. Electricity £0.010/kWh : Gas £0.030 /kWhRule of thumb Spark Gap > 3.0 Relative cost of power / fuel ~ Electricity to GasCost of electricity - gas ~ Price Gap = 7.0 p/kWCost of electricity / gas ~ Spark Gap = 3.3Electricity Connection Charge and agreements Gas Connection charge and agreement Potential to manage interruptible gas supplies
CharteredConsulting Engineers
The Prime Movers There is a variety of available systems thatcan be applied as the electrical primary energySupply devices. E.g.
Reciprocating EnginesMicroturbinesGas TurbinesSteam TurbinesSolar ORC (Organic Rankin Cycle)Fuel Cells
CharteredConsulting Engineers
Some fuels used in prime movers • Natural Gas (including interruptible supplies, CNG)• Wellhead Gases • LPG (liquid and gaseous)• Naphtha• Landfill and Sewage Gas• Mines Gas (Coal Bed Methane)• High Hydrogen Gases• Coke oven gas• Synthetic Gases from biomass, coal and wastes • Gasified (‘wood & waste food gas’) • Diesel, Kerosene & biofuels• Crude Oil• Waste solvents e.g. ethanol, methanol hydrocarbon based solvents • Permits are potentially an issue to consider

Sorption• Absorption is the incorporation of a substance into another of a different state.
e.g. Liquids into Solids or Gases into Liquids
Absorption is basically where a material takes in another substance.
• Adsorption is the physical adherence or bonding of ions and molecules onto the surface of another phase
( e.g. reagents adsorbed to solid catalyst surfaces).
Sorption Refrigeration Systems
