 What to get from this
presentation

• Understand what CHP is.

• Understand how it can help.
• Understand it is available Now.

• Not understand why CHP is not

more widely utilized.

 A well kept secret!

In 1910 Fuel utilization was 65%

Today, nearly 100yrs later, it is only 33%
Renewable Energy Workshop, January 19, 2007
 Waste of Energy

67% of Central Power Station Input Energy is lost

in the form of Heat.

 Grid Efficiency

As delivered to the customer electrical

efficiency has stagnated for the last 40 years

 CHP Comparison

CHP Recycles the Waste Heat from Power

Generation achieving efficiencies of over 80%.

 CHP Deployment
International Perspective

Renewable Energy Workshop, January 19, 2007

 US CHP Goal
92GW by 2010

Recognizing the benefits of CHP. Both the EPA

and DOE support the goal of 92GW by 2010
Renewable Energy Workshop, January 19, 2007
 National Energy Policy

CHP can achieve efficiencies of 80% or more.

 Florida’s Energy Plan

Distributed Generation and CHP are cornerstones

of Energy Efficiency in Florida’s Energy Plan

 The CHP Solution
National Perspective
• Inadequate supply – Add up to 210 GWs of CHP.
• High energy costs – Cuts fuel by up to 2/3.
• Air pollution – Reduces emissions up to 2/3.
• Too few competitive suppliers – Many new ones.
• Major siting impacts – CHP plants small, near load.
• Long lead times – CHP in less than two years.
• Constrained transmission – CHP eases constraints.
• Power Security – CHP offers high levels of Security.
• Line losses of power – CHP suffers no line losses.

So why aren’t we building CHP everywhere?

Renewable Energy Workshop, January 19, 2007
 To Summarize
CHP Can…..

• Reduce Fuel Consumption, easing

our reliance on foreign fuel.
• Reduce Harmful Emissions of NOx
and CO2.
• Increase Grid Security through
Distributed Generation.

So why aren’t we building CHP everywhere right now?

Renewable Energy Workshop, January 19, 2007
 Breaking Down the
Barriers

• The barriers to CHP are not economics or

technology but are regulatory.

• Florida’s Energy Plan lays the foundation

of energy efficiency.

• CHP offers tomorrows energy efficiency

dream today.
