State the advantages of adoption of cogeneration system in an industry.
The advantages of adoption of cogeneration system in an industry: 1) Co-generation can meet both power & heat needs. 2) Less costly. 3) Very high efficiency. 4) Reduction in emission of pollutants due to reduced fuel consumption. 5) A much more efficient use of primary energy can be achieved than with a separate production of electricity & heat. 6) In this system heat generated is by-product in electricity generating process. 7) It can maintain grid stability. 8) Due to decentralization of electricity it avoids transmission losses & makes system more efficient.
