Cogeneration refers to the combined generation of heat and electric power. A common application is district heating. Cogeneration's ad- vantage stems from savings in investment and operating expenditures, and frequently also from greater reliability. It is geographically more restricted than large electricity networks since heat losses limit its distance from the generating station. Its optimal applications are therefore in load-intensive regions.
