Presentation Transcript

  1. Combined Heat and Power (CHP)Focus on Distributed Generation Stevens Institute of Technology Mechanical Engineering DepartmentProf. Siva Thangam Supported by:  National Science Foundation

  2. My Research • Combined Heat and Power • Utilization of waste heat from the production of power. • Distributed generation • Generation of electricity near the intended place of use • An approach for achieving a sustainable energy future

  3. How a Power Plant Works

  4. Conventional Distribution

  5. Combined Heat and Power

  6. Selecting the Right Equipment

  7. Design: Thermodynamics Conservation of Energy IN OUT What goes in = What comes out (in one form or another)

  8. The Quality of Energy • Quality is the ability to perform useful work • Electrical energy is worth more than heat energy

  9. Design: Economics • Define a new term: Exergy • Commonly referred to as “Availability” • A measure of the effort that was put in • Accounts for the quality of energy IN OUT

  10. Model, Simulate, Optimize

  11. Electricity, Volatility!

  12. Questions Questions or Comments?
