Cogeneration is also called as combined heat and power or combine heat and power. The cogeneration is a concept of generating two different form of energy by a single source of fuel. In the two forms, one is heat or thermal energy and other is electrical or mechanical energy. Based on the technology the cogeneration plants are classified into gas turbine, combined cycle gas turbine, steam turbine, and reciprocating engine. Cogeneration nowadays is one of the attractive option for developed and developing countries in order to meet their base and peak demand. The increasing global environmental concerns, and stringent emission norms by governing bodies has led to the development of the new technologies in cogeneration equipment.
