The sequential production from the same fuel source of thermal energy and electrical mechanical power, such as the generation of electricity using waste heat from an industrial process.
The production of electricity using waste heat or steam from industrial processes.
utilization of the normally wasted heat energy produced by a power plant or industrial process, esp. to generate electricity. (Source: Random House Dictionary of the English Language )
the simultaneous or sequential production of two or more forms of useful energy from a single primary energy source
A practice where an industrial or institutional customer will produce steam on their premises to heat adjoining buildings, run machinery and run turbines to generate their own electric power.
Production of electricity from steam, heat or other forms of energy produced as a by-product of another process - usually manufacturing.
The production of two forms of energy - typically heat and electricity - from one source. From one fuel source electricity is generated and the waste heat from that generation is captured and used in heating applications.
The simultaneous production of electricity and useful heat from a common fuel source.
Production of two useful forms of energy such as high-temperature heat and electricity from the same process. For example, while boiling water to generate electricity, the leftover steam can be sold for industrial processes or space heating. ()
