set up to burn natural gas, a variety of petroleum fuels, landfill or biogas, or can have dual-fuel capability. Gas turbines are well suited for CHP because their high-temperature exhaust can be used to generate process steam at conditions as high as 1,200 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) and 900 degrees Fahrenheit (oF). Much of the current US gas turbine-based CHP capacity consists of large combined-cycle CHP systems that maximize power production for sale to the grid while supplying steam to large industrial or commercial users. Simple-cycle CHP applications are common in smaller installations, typically less than 40 MW. Microturbines Microturbines are very small combustion turbines with outputs of 30 kW to 300 kW. Microturbine technology has evolved from the technology used in automotive and truck turbochargers and auxiliary power units for airplanes and tanks. Microturbines are compact and lightweight, with few moving parts. Many designs are air-cooled and some even use air bearings, thereby eliminating the cooling water and lube oil systems. In CHP operation, a heat exchanger transfers thermal energy from the hot exhaust to a hot water or low-pressure steam system. Exhaust heat can be used for a number of different applications, including potable water heating, absorption chillers and desiccant dehumidification equipment, space heating, process heating, and other building uses. Fuel Cells Fuel cells use an electrochemical or battery-like process to convert the chemical energy of hydrogen into water and electricity. In CHP applications, heat is generally recovered in the form of hot water or low-pressure steam (<30 psig), and the quality of heat depends on the type of fuel cell and its operating temperature. Fuel cells use hydrogen, which can be obtained from natural gas, coal gas, methanol, and other hydrocarbon fuels. Fuel cells promise higher efficiency than generation technologies based on heat engine prime movers. In addition, fuel cells are inherently quiet and extremely clean running. Like microturbines, fuel cells require power electronics to convert the direct current to 60-Hertz alternating current. Many fuel cell technologies are modular and capable of application in small commercial markets; other technology utilizes high temperatures in larger systems suited to industrial CHP applications. What Fuels Does CHP Use? CHP is not a fuel-specific technology. Even with price volatility in natural gas markets in recent years, natural gas is still the predominant fuel for CHP systems. While natural gas will continue to be an important fuel, the ability of CHP systems to operate on diverse fuels—including coal, oil, biomass, wood, and waste fuels such as landfill and digester gas—makes them key to developing a balanced and sustainable energy portfolio.
