I was recently asked about the reliability of CHP at a hospital and what the thoughts were about having redundant units, known as N+1, or a standby CHP System. Although resilient and reliable at first thought, the ramifications of N+1 for constant power/thermal generation can be costly in the beginning and throughout the life of the plant. With CHP you are now integrating yourself more into other parts of the energy and infrastructure industries than before with the traditional systems. Let’s break things down to better grasp understanding.

Engineering to an outside observer may just seem like one giant profession of people who like math. The reality of the matter is though that within engineering there’s a massive breadth of disciplines that are about as different as astronomers and astrologists.
