Electricity production
at the point of use
,irrespective of size, fuel or technology:
High efficiency cogeneration / combined heat andpower (CHP)
Simultaneous production of useful power and heat fromsingle fuel source
 The most efficient use of any fuel
Based on gas turbines, microturbines, engines, steamturbines, etc
On-site renewable energy
On-grid and off-grid
What is Decentralized Energy (DE)?

Concept envisualised at beginning of 20th Century
First Industrial Gas Turbine built in 1931 by BrownBoveri
In late 1930’s focus shifted to aircraft propulsion
Industrial Gas Turbine development continued afterWorld War II
Robust
Compact
Ability to operate on gas fuels
No external coolant required
Size range now 1 – 100+ MWe
