Stevens Institute of TechnologyMechanical Engineering DepartmentProf. Siva ThangamSupported by: National Science Foundation
My Research Combined Heat and Power
Utilization of waste heat from the production of power.
Distributed generation Generation of electricity near the intended
place of use
An approach for achieving a sustainable energy future
How a Power Plant Works
Conventional Distribution
Combined Heat and Power
Selecting the Right Equipment
Design: ThermodynamicsConservation of Energy
IN OUT
What goes in = What comes out(in one form or another)
The Quality of Energy
Quality is the ability to perform useful work
Electrical energy is worth more than heat energy
Design: Economics
IN OUT
Define a new term: Exergy Commonly referred to as “Availability” A measure of the effort that was put in Accounts for the quality of energy
Model, Simulate, Optimize
Electricity, Volatility!
