Abstract
Cogeneration means simultaneous or combined production of heat and electrical power (CHP). The heat can be used to produce hot water or steam for a system or a process, or̸and to feed a refrigeration system. In the case of production of electricity, heating and chilling, one speaks of trigeneration. Usually cogeneration leads to a better utilisation of the fuel than a separate generation of the same amounts of electricity and heat.
