CHP Laboratory Analysis Introduction Combined Heat and Power system is a technology that produces electricity and thermal energy in the same process. In this way‚ optimum use can be made of the energy available from the fuel. During the electrical power generation‚ heat is lost‚ which is used to increase the internal energy of the fluid‚ water in this case‚ through the exchangers. Hot water is either directly pumped to the end user during the winter season of the year or it is used to
