Combined Heat and Power Templates


Combined Heat and Power Templates


In a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) System, the exhaust heat from a gas turbine is recovered to provide process heat or to generate steam, thereby increasing the overall efficiency. A CHP system, also known as Cogeneration (of heat and power) system, typically involves one or more of the following major unit operations.

  • Gas Turbine
  • Steam Generator
  • Heat Exchanger
  • Steam Turbine
  • Burner

The CHP unit is a special type of sub-flowsheet in Petro-SIM that combines the units in a CHP system. The overall system efficiency, considering the contribution of each individual unit operation, will then be calculated by Petro-SIM.

In Petro-SIM 6.2, there are 15 new CHP templates to select when creating a utility system model.
