Abstract
This paper discusses cogeneration, peak shaving,
interruptible power and "on-site" generation as
alternatives to purchasing traditional electrical
power. Equipment used and case histories,
including economics of the industrial
installations, are included. Sites range in size
from 650 kW to 22.0 MW. All systems use
reciprocating engine generators as prime movers.
