Cogeneration definition

Cogeneration means the simultaneous generation in one process of thermal energy and electrical or mechanical energy;
Cogeneration means the simultaneous generation in one process of thermal energy and electrical and/or mechanical energy;
Cogeneration means a process which simultaneously produces two or more forms of useful energy (including electricity);

Cogeneration means an integrated system that produces electric energy and useful thermal energy for industrial, commercial, or heating and cooling purposes, through the sequential or simultaneous use of the original fuel energy. Cogeneration must involve onsite generation of electricity and useful thermal energy and some form of waste heat recovery. Some examples of cogeneration include: (a) a gas turbine or reciprocating engine generating electricity by combusting fuel, which then uses a heat recovery unit to capture useful heat from the exhaust stream of the turbine or engine; (b) Steam turbines generating electricity as a byproduct of steam generation through a fired boiler; (c) Cogeneration systems in which the fuel input is first applied to a thermal process such as a furnace and at least some of the heat rejected from the process is then used for power production. For the purposes of this article, a combined-cycle power generation unit, where none of the generated thermal energy is used for industrial, commercial, or heating and cooling purposes (these purposes exclude any thermal energy utilization that is either in support of or a part of the electricity generation system), is not considered a cogeneration unit.
Cogeneration means a combined process whereby electrical and useful thermal energy are produced simultaneously.
Cogeneration means the simultaneous production of electricity and thermal energy in the form of heat or steam from a single fuel source.

Cogeneration must involve onsite generation of electricity and useful thermal energy and some form of waste heat recovery.
Cogeneration means the sequential use of energy for the production of electrical and useful thermal energy. The sequence can be thermal use followed by power production or the reverse, subject to the following standards:
