CHP Generation Principle
At a traditional steam-based, coal-fired CHP plant with condensation operation, 40-45% of the energy input is converted to electrical power, while the remaining part is not utilised. It disappears with the cooling water into the sea and with the hot flue gas from the boiler up through the chimney into thin air.
A back pressure CHP plant generates electrical power in the same way as a power plant, but instead of discharging the condensation heat from the steam together with the cooling water into the sea, the steam is cooled by means of the recycling water from a district heating distribution system and thus used for the generation of heat.
The advantage of combined heat and power production is that up to 85-90% of the energy in the fuel input can be utilised. Of this approx. 20-30 % of the energy input will be converted to electrical power, while 55-70 % of the energy input will be converted to heat.
Thus by combining heat and electri-cal power generation, the total utilisation of energy increases, but as a whole the electrical power output will be reduced.
Another advantage of a back pressure CHP plant instead of a power plant is that there is no need for seawater for cooling. The plant can therefore be located near large towns (decentralised) with sufficient demand and a distribution system to cope with demands.
The operation of a CHP plant depends on the heat demand of the district heating system. In case of a small heat demand, the power generation will also be small, because the district heating water cannot cool the steam cycle to that extent at the CHP plant. For the purpose of equalising the
variations in the cooling of the district heating water, the CHP plants are often equipped with storage tanks for the storage of “heat” during periods with little district heating demand.
It is the system steam data on pressure and temperature that determine the electrical power utilisation of the system.
With equal steam data for a coal-fired power plant and a biomass-fired power plant, the electrical power efficiency will also be the same. However, the risk of
slagging and corrosion during firing with biofuels has deterred boiler engineers and manufacturers from applying steam data to biomass-fired heating plants at the same level as coal-fired heating plants.
The most recent advances in the field of heating system technologies and design have constituted a break-through, and a couple of new heating plants demonstrate that high steam data can also be achieved by biofuels. A number of industrial enterprises require steam for their manufacturing processes.
Several large enterprises have realised the advantage of establishing steam production plants, so that in addition to the process steam, electrical
power can also be generated. Especially in forest product industries, this opportunity is quite evident, since wood waste can then be utilised as a fuel on
the spot.
The energy can naturally only be utilised once, so when energy is drawn off in the form of process steam, also the generation of heat are reduced.
The process steam is normally extracted from a special type of steam turbine termed an extraction turbine.
Depending on the steam requirement, steam can be withdrawn at various high-pressure stages of the turbine, thereby applying various methods for the adjustment of the steam pressure.
Heating plants owned by electrical power companies are under the obligation to supply electrical power to the supply mains. Decentralised CHP plants
owned by district heating companies and industrial enterprises are not likewise committed. Heating plants owned by electrical power companies must therefore be constructed so as to include greater operational reliability which results in larger capital investment.
