Course Outline
The course discusses about eco-generation – A need of today’s environment. Eco-generation dis optimization of economic and ecological benefits in the power generation process. Eco-generation produces huge savings for our environment through the reduction, or even elimination, of pollution associated with power and energy production. Additionally, eco-generation appeals to our customers' economic bottom line by providing them with significant fuel and electrical savings. It also discusses Trigeneration advantages, adoptability, schematic, temperature profile etc.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.

Course Summary
Trigeneration systems for commercial buildings are very profitable investments for building owners and industrial plants. A new trigeneration system can pay for itself in as little as two years, depending on local electric rates, natural gas (or other fuel) costs, and the load profile of the building. As mentioned earlier trigeneration systems help not only the building owner, but also benefit society in a number of ways, including:
- Increased power reliability
- Reduced power requirements on the electric grid and
- Reduced dependence on foreign oil.
Quiz
Once you finish studying the above course content, you need to take a quiz to obtain the PDH credits.
