Cogeneration and Trigeneration Applications

&
Pages 743-750 | Published online: 19 Aug 2006
 

Combined heat and power cogeneration, or “autoproduction” as it is known in Turkey, is the simultaneous production of heat and electricity, while trigeneration includes the cold production in addition to cogeneration. This technology has been advanced by governmental support and the continuing need for additional electricity generation within Turkey. The present study deals with cogeneration and trigeneration applications in Turkey, giving the electricity market development. Only four cogeneration plants with a total capacity of 30 MW e were operated up to 1994, while trigeneration applications have started for the last two years. The total installed cogeneration capacity is expected to reach up to 6,000 MW e by 2005, which would represent about 20% of Turkey's total installed electricity generating capacity. In this context, cogeneration and trigeneration have had, or will have, a significant and increasing role in dictating the energy strategies for Turkey.
