This book investigates the potential for increasing cogeneration by wheeling power through an interconnected utility to another utility or industrial plant. The book addresses technical and external constraints as well as potential solutions. Issues examined include markets for wheeled power, regulatory considerations, decoupling electrical and thermal power production, considerations of the interconnected utility, operational constraints, and contracting issues.
