Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A CHP (Combined Heat and Power) plant is designed to generate electricity and capture and use waste heat from the process. In this case, an on-site gas turbine or reciprocating engine drives an alternator to generate electricity while the engine cooling water is used to heat the building, making it a more efficient use of energy compared to just generating electricity alone.
