What are CHP & Tri-generation

CHP plant produces heat and electrical power. For much of the year the heat output is used for heating and hot water in the buildings served by the District Energy scheme, while the power meets their electrical requirements. In summer, when heating requirements are lower, the surplus heat may be used to drive an absorption chiller to generate chilled water for cooling in these buildings. Tri-generation delivers significant energy savings compared to conventional methods of providing heating, cooling and power.
