Abstract
As the analysis of publications on cogeneration shows, most authors present it as a way to increase the efficiency of existing power generation plants by utilizing the generated heat. It is shown in the work that cogeneration is a complex system that allows maneuvering the proportion between the received thermal and electrical energy. In this regard, it seems promising to develop a cogeneration system in which this proportion could be regulated. There have not been such systems in the published patents yet. Regulation of the proportion between heat and electricity can be carried out in accordance with the changing tariffs for these two types of energy, as well as depending on production tasks. Existing cogeneration systems are usually adaptations of existing power plants optimized for optimal electrical energy consumption. Cogeneration systems should be optimized for the maximum total consumption of heat and electricity at a minimum cost. Apparently, in the conditions of existing calculation methods, this problem has not been solved yet. Therefore, the optimal values for cogeneration should be sought outside the currently accepted design parameters and operating modes of power plants.
