Abstract

Combined heat and power (CHP or cogeneration) is the simultane­ous production of electricity and thermal energy from a single fuel source. Most CHP systems in New York City use natural-gas fired turbines or reciprocating engines to generate electric­ity and then capture heat from the com­bustion generator’s exhaust stream and cooling systems.
