Abstract:Cogeneration, a process facilitating the simultaneous production of electricity and useful heat from a singular energy source, has been investigated in this study. The primary objective of this research was to assess the performance dynamics of a cogeneration power plant under constant steam inlet conditions. Results revealed that the thermal efficiency (Ƞth) oscillated between 23.76% and 24.44%. The maximum thermal efficiency recorded was 24.44%, corresponding to an Energy Utilization Factor (EUF) of 0.85, un… Show more
