Type
Short course
By generating heat and power simultaneously, Combined Heat and Power – also known as Cogeneration - offers the most significant opportunity to enhance the overall efficiency, reduce energy costs and improve environmental performance, while ensuring at the same time an increased flexibility and reliability of energy supply. It is predicted that more than 300 GWe of cogeneration systems will be added globally by 2020. In Europe alone, cogeneration power plants are expected to cover 20% of the energy demand by 2030, compared to the expected 27% contribution from renewable energy technologies.

What you will learn
The course will build up the delegates’ understanding and knowledge of CHP technologies with conventional fuels and renewables. More specifically, on completion of the course delegates will be able to:
- Explain the operational characteristics of the major components of a CHP plant and appraise their design and off-design performance
- Discuss technical, economic and environmental risks and benefits of various CHP technologies
- Apply appropriate methods available to assess financial viability of a cogeneration system considering several factors
- Identify the most appropriate plant size and select a suitable cogeneration system
- Outline the optimisation and development of the CHP technology in response to current and future challenges, market outlook and users’ requirements.
