Development of the integrated controllers for small CHP cogeneration system

Small CHP (Combined Heat & Power) cogeneration system is the dispersed generation system under 1MW that produces the electricity as well as the heat energy. Currently it is getting the spotlights as a highly efficient power generation system by the fact that it can utilize the previously wasted heat into the usable energy. As a result, the demand for more efficient, peak shaving cogeneration system as well as the high performance, multi-functional controllers has increased. In this paper, we introduce the features of a newly developed 325kVA CHP cogeneration system and the integrated controllers that supervise the entire system operation.
