Sulzer Turbo Services increases the flexibility of a customer’s cogeneration system
Cogeneration steam powered systems, also called combined heat and power (CHP) systems, use one power station to simultaneously generate electricity and useful heat from steam, which is a thermodynamically efficient use of fuel. However, changing the ratio of steam and generated electricity sometimes requires significant modifications to the steam turbine. To increase the steam production in a CHP system, Sulzer Turbo Services developed a solution allowing more flexibility than the client had originally considered.
