What it shows

  • Synchronous generator parallels on-site switchgear with utility protection.
  • Synch-check relays match voltage, frequency, and phase before breaker closure.
  • Exhaust and jacket water heat exchangers push thermal efficiency past 80%.

The takeaway

CHP couples synchronous on-site generation with exhaust heat recovery, doubling overall plant fuel efficiency.
