Guide for Energy Efficiency Calculation and Evaluation of Coal-Fired Combined Heating, Cooling, and Power Generation Units

The guide establishes two methods for computing and evaluating the overall Energy Efficiency (EEF). The guide defines consistent system boundaries for accurate determination of the total amount of energy consumed. The guide develops a Standard Coal Consumption Rate (SCCR) based evaluation system by clarifying and quantifying the impact of external variables to establish rational efficiency targets under actual operating conditions. The document also provides the computing method of weighted segmental Energy Efficiency Ratios (EERs) that indicate the overall EEF of co-generation power units. The guide develops an EER based evaluation system to guide technology comparison among different system optimizations or retrofits. This guide applies to co-generation units fueled by coal and biomass.

Other Activities From This Working Group

Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.


No Active Projects

Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.


No Active Standards

These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.


No Superseded Standards

These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.


No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards

These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.


No Inactive-Reserved Standards
