Building combined heat and power (BCHP) feasibility and design
depend on the magnitude, duration, and coincidence of electrical and
thermal loads, as well as on the selection of the prime mover and waste
heat recovery systems. This article assesses the current marketplace for
BCHP systems in the light of recent events in California and the FERC
standard market design. The article then reviews the basic components
of BCHP systems and discusses their integration in the design of a large
hospital complex located in Toledo, Ohio. Computer simulation is used
to optimize the proposed design of the BCHP system. The findings pre-
sented illustrate that the first cost premium is recuperated through the
BCHP annual energy and cost reductions
