Abstract

In industry, where heat and electric energy is to be used simultaneously, the most efficient way for energy supply is the combined production of heat and power in a cogeneration steam turbine plant. In addition to renewable energy, cogeneration plants are today very productive energy systems. In the INA-Maziva Rijeka refinery, a CHP plant has been built with a capacity of 5,7 MWel. For combined heat and power production, these cogeneration plants are equipped with a steam condensing turbine with one controlled and one non-controlled extraction. This paper presents the main technical characteristics and gives an efficiency analysis of this cogeneration steam turbine plant.
