Question Of The Week: Trigeneration Vs. Cogeneration

Posted by Heidi Schwartz

This week’s question comes from the Facilities Management Group on LinkedIn.

TFM's Question of the Week logo. When evaluating trigeneration (or CCHP, a combined cooling, heat and power plant*) vs. cogeneration (or CHP, a combined heat and power plant*), which one would you select for your facility and why? Can you share your general experience of the long-term prospects of the alternative systems with respect to on-going maintenance and LC replacement?
