Cogeneration
定义 Definition
cogeneration(也叫 combined heat and power, CHP)指一种能源利用方式:在发电的同时,把原本会被浪费的余热回收,用于供暖、热水或工业用热,从而提高整体能效、减少燃料消耗与排放。
发音 Pronunciation (IPA)
/ˌkoʊdʒenəˈreɪʃən/
例句 Examples
Cogeneration can provide electricity and heat at the same time.
热电联产可以同时提供电力和热能。
By installing cogeneration at the hospital, the facility cut energy waste, improved reliability during outages, and lowered its carbon footprint.
医院安装热电联产系统后,减少了能源浪费,提高了停电时的供能可靠性,并降低了碳足迹。
词源 Etymology
该词由 **co-**(“共同、一起”)+ generation(“发电、生成”)构成,字面意思是“共同生成”。在能源语境中强调“电与热一起产生并被利用”,区别于传统发电只输出电、余热被排放的方式。
