Cogeneration in a Hospital: a case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the authors analyze different alternatives to provide energy utilities to a hospital center with cogeneration systems with diesel engines and gas turbines. The study considers several power sizes and control strategies, so it shows the influence of these parameters, showing that in this case the options with diesel engines are more efficient than the equivalent ones with gas turbines.

An Emergy Comparison of Different Alternatives for the Cogeneration of Heat and Electricity
The study deals with an emergy evaluation of the supply of electricity and heat to a large user, namely a public hospital in Northern Italy. We performed firstly a conventional LCA evaluation, in order to identify and quantify the material and energy flows involved in three cogeneration alternatives for the hospital. The evaluated cogeneration alternatives were: 1) an Internal Combustion Engine...
متن کاملEnergetic and Exergetic Analysis of Internal Combustion Engine Cogeneration System
In this article, the first and second law analysis of diesel engine based cogeneration system was performed. Fuel utilization efficiency, rate of power, and rate of process heat of the plant were determined and various efficiencies based on both energy and exergy methods and the performance assessment parameters are defined for both the system components and the entire cogeneration plant. The o...

This paper presents the proper underfrequency relay settings to enhance the operation of industrial power systems with cogeneration facilities. A cogeneration unit was installed in the plant in 1996 to supply the power demand of the plant. The cogeneration unit always faces the shutdown problem when a severe fault occurs on the nearby Taipower network. It is, therefore, necessary to investigate...
متن کاملPowering the future: how Hamilton Health Sciences put cogeneration to work for healthcare.
The absolute necessity of a stable and uninterrupted power supply within hospitals makes many of these facilities uniquely suited to cogeneration plants. Hamilton Health Sciences recently completed the largest hospital cogeneration project ever undertaken in the country. Spanning three acute care hospitals and generating a combined total of 22.75 megawatts of electricity, Hamilton Health Scienc...
