Escalating
cost of power, unreliable quality, growing demand resulting
in continued shortages, dependency on Central and State
grids and frequently changing policies!!!
These are the grim realities of the current power scenario
in India. This makes it difficult, for the industry
& commercial establishments to become globally cost
competitive.
One of the fastest developing countries in the world
today, with economy in transition, India consumes 12.18
quadrillion Btu (Quads) of power, with over 8 to 1 0%
growth per annum. It is of utmost importance for business
and industry, to have adequate, economical, reliable
power supply of high quality.
COGENERATION of electricity and thermal energy, wherever
feasible, is an effective solution to the problem.
COGENERATION
Cogeneration,
also known as combined heat and power or CHP, is simultaneous
production of electricity, heating and/or cooling,
from a single fuel input, with an overall efficiency
normally exceeding 70% |
