Combined Heat and Power

The combination of heat and power generation in the same plant: In circumstances where process heat is not required, the generated steam can be used to generate additional electricity in a steam turbine. This method reduces the overall consumption of fuel by exploiting the otherwise wasted heat from conventional electricity generation. It provides low-grade heating for domestic and industrial uses. This is described as Combined Cycle Power Generation.
