Abstract

Building combined heat and power (BCHP) feasibility and designdepend on the magnitude, duration, and coincidence of electrical andthermal loads, as well as on the selection of the prime mover and wasteheat recovery systems. This article assesses the current marketplace forBCHP systems in the light of recent events in California and the FERCstandard market design. The article then reviews the basic componentsof BCHP systems and discusses their integration in the design of a largehospital complex located in Toledo, Ohio. Computer simulation is usedto optimize the proposed design of the BCHP system. The findings pre-sented illustrate that the first cost premium is recuperated through theBCHP annual energy and cost reductions
