====== Cogeneration efficiency ====== [[c_cogen_more|Centralized]] and [[d_cogen_more|decentralized cogeneration]] systems has two efficiencies as they deliver two products (heat & electricity): $\eta_{th} = \frac{Q^-}{Q+}$ ^$\eta_{th}$ |Thermal efficiency [%] | ^$Q^-$ |Heat delivered by the cogeneration system [W] | ^$Q^+$ |Heat delivered by the fuel combustion (LHV basis) [W] | $\eta_{el} = \frac{E^-}{Q+}$ ^$\eta_{el}$ |Electrical efficiency [%] | ^$Q^-$ |Electricity delivered by the cogeneration system [W] | ^$Q^+$ |Heat delivered by the fuel combustion (LHV basis) [W] |
