Cogeneration in Texas, USA- Who has the worst performing Cogen?
Cogen. Short for Cogeneration.
Cogen is a facility that simultaneously produces and captures 2 forms of energy: heat and electricity.
Trigeneration simultaneously produces and captures 3 forms of usable energy: heat, cooling, and electricity.
Notice the prefixes. Co for 2, and Tri for 3.
To produce electricity in a Cogen, we need a generator. ?A generator needs to spin to create electricity (electrical theories and laws). To make a generator spin, we need a Turbine: Steam or Gas.
History of Cogen in the USA.
President Jimmy Carter, in 1978, pushed for a law called Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURPA). It was a response to the energy crisis in 1973.
PURPA gave special privileges to Cogen facilities; one of them was the requirement by utilities to purchase electricity from Cogen under certain provisions.
PURPA triggered the Cogen explosion in America.
I took a sample of a few oil and gas facilities in Texas, and we will compare their Cogen production and reliability. Click on the video below.
