How to Reduce Delays in Cogeneration Projects

Cogeneration works to combine power efforts between clean-burning powers and emission-producing power in order to make a green alternative with a greater output of overall power. During the process, energy can be lost due to ineffectual planning or harnessing of power. By regenerating and recapturing loose power, you can complete a more thorough circuit and ultimately an effective green power provider.

Things You'll Need

Access to a green power plant
Volt meter

Instructions

- 1
  Study the overall machinery to determine where any leaks in power are happening. This can include the release of steam or electricity.
- 2
  Place volt meters any place electricity is transferred. Log all the various electrical measurements.
- 3
  Calculate any gains or losses in electricity. Determine if the electrical lost is expected due to consumption or if it is greater than necessary.
- 4
  Find any leaks in gasses. You can visualize such leaks as the gas usually causes steam. If you are unsure, consider using a small fan to help find any leaks.
- 5
  Study all the energy loss points. Determine if adding additional seals will make a difference in the energy loss.
- 6
  Implement the changes and recalculate all the energy losses.
