Combined heat and power generationDiverse variety of combined heat and power plants

Important features of combined heat and power (CHP) plants with various drive units provide an indication of their range of uses. A large power to heat ratio indicates, for example, a high yield of electrical energy in relation to the useful heat. The partial load behaviour describes the economic efficiency of a CHP plant when, for example, the operation is frequently interrupted.
