Division 2

A cogeneration unit supplies energy products to a consumer area. The consumer area does not belong to the cogeneration unit, but consumes the energy outputs generated by the cogeneration unit. The two areas are not necessarily distinct geographical areas within the site but, rather, areas that may be represented as shown below. The consumer area can be an industrial process, an individual heat and electricity consumer, a district heating/cooling system, and/or the electric grid. In all cases the consumer area uses the energy outputs from the cogeneration unit (See Figure 2).
