Abstract
In order to meet economic objectives of cogeneration projects, reliable operation must be achieved. The key to successful operation is proper preparation beginning at the economic justification stage and continuing through conceptual design, detailed design, construction and commissioning and start-up. Key points that affect the economics of future operation are listed.
Problems can occur during operation, even with the best of preparation. Remedies are suggested in the potential problem areas of fuel supply, power sales, energy costing, accounting, and equipment capacity.
