Cogeneration (CHP) vs Conventional Generation Simulator

Interactive industrial cogeneration simulator: burn an adjustable rate of fuel in a generator and compare conventional power generation (exhaust heat vented and wasted) against combined heat and power (CHP), which captures that exhaust heat for a second use, with a live Sankey-style energy-flow diagram and overall efficiency readout.

A gas-turbine generator burns fuel to make electricity, but most of the leftover energy leaves as hot exhaust gas. This simulator lets you compare a conventional plant, which vents that exhaust as wasted heat, against a combined heat and power (CHP) system, which captures the same exhaust in a heat-recovery unit and routes it to a second use. Adjust the fuel input rate and switch modes to watch the live Sankey-style energy-flow diagram and overall efficiency readout respond.

⚙ Under the hood

Burn an adjustable fuel-input rate in a 3D industrial generator and compare conventional generation, which vents hot exhaust as wasted heat, against cogeneration (CHP), which routes the same exhaust through a heat-recovery unit to a second use, with a live Sankey-style energy-flow diagram and overall efficiency readout jumping from ~35-45% to ~70-90%.
