Abstract

ABSTRACT Stable natural gas prices and increasing power costs are making gas fired cogeneration systems economically attractive to hospitals. This paper presents analytical methods for preliminary evaluation of the economic feasibility of a proposed cogeneration plant. Equations are developed which permit rapid estimation of: generator size, cogenerated power cost, economic payback, additional hospital gas consumption due to cogeneration, and cogeneration cycle efficiency.
