ABSTRACT
By using the data gathered from the utility bills and the analyzing of that data, a cogenerator can be selected that meets the optimum needs of the facility. One of those optimum needs is not to overproduce either electricity or thermal energy. The other need is to see that the economics are suitable to the customer. Whatever altruistic benefits derive from cogeneration, i.e. environmental and fuel conservation, customers will not be attracted to spending their money unless it shows a fair return on their investment.
