Co-generation power plants

Maximize efficiency: Combined-cycle power plants as co-generation plants

We also design combined-cycle power plants as co-generation plants, for the simultaneous production of process steam along with power.

Co-generation plants can have an even higher overall efficiency, due to the fact that parallel to the generation of electricity a waste heat boiler produces process heat for seawater desalination, industrial applications and district or factory heating.

The advantages of co-generation power plants at a glance:

• Efficiency up to 80 percent – another 20 percent efficiency on top of the high efficiency a typical Combined-cycle power plant
• Flexibility: Both simple cycle power plants and combined cycle power plants can be configured as co-generation plants
