Applications

The steam power generation is categorized based on:

• Fuel / Feedstock used for producing steam
• Power Generation output and
• Utilization of Power

Application	Description	Industry Solution
Co-generation (COGEN)	By-product is utilized to raise steam for power generation	Bagasse in Sugar Mill, Empty Fruit Bunch, Kernel from Palm Oil Mills
Combined Heat and Power (CHP)	Steam is utilized for process heat requirement, and power generation is incidental. Optimized Heat and Power solutions for a plant. Surplus power is exported to Grid.	Process Industries, Food Processing, Pharmaceuticals, Chemical industry and many more or Only for water and space heating and purpose like in District Heating.
Waste heat recovery (WHR) and Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP)	Energy recovery from hot streams with potential high energy content, such as hot flue gases through a heat exchanger either HRSG (Cyclical Gas Flows in case of Gas Engine) or WHRB (continuous Gas flows like process flue gasses and flow from exhaust of Gas Turbine). It produces steam that can be used in a process (cogeneration) or used to drive a steam turbine (combined cycle).	Combined Cycle Power Plant (Gas Engines, Turbines), Flue Gasses from Blast Furnace in Steel plant, Waste heat in sponge iron plant, Coal / Feedstock Gasification to natural Gas or Syngas.
Incidental Power generation from Incineration (INCR)	Incidental steam raising from incineration of waste. Utilizing the steam for Power Generation	Incineration of Municipal Solid Waste/ Industrial Wastes/ Hazardous Wastes which are mandatory to be disposed in a safe manner.
Captive power plant (CPP)	Power generation for partial or complete Captive Consumption. Surplus power is exported to grid.	Cement, Steel, Industrial Hub, sparsely populated regions where power is not accessible (off grid solutions) etc.
Independent Power Producer (IPP)	Power generation for complete commercial consumption as: Merchant power sale or Export to grid. Off grid power solutions.	Biomass (Rice Husk, Wood chips, Wood Logs, Coal fired, Gasification), Barge Mounted Power plant (Offshore IPP)
Non conventional energy sources (NCER)	Harnessing the heat energy from non- conventional energy resources through steam power Generation.	Solar Thermal , Geothermal
