Development of Redundancy Model for Co-generation Plant

This study presents development of redundancy model for co-generation plant. The study is focused on small cogeneration plant which produces power below 10MW. UTP-GDC plant was chosen as the model because of its location and accessibility to information. The development of redundancy model is important to provide analysis for future improvement of small co-generation plant. Cogeneration plant did experience some trouble when the turbine fails to operate and results in blackout situation. During this situation, the approach usually taken by small plant is to get electrical supply from TNB. In this study, two alternatives were being compared and investigated in terms of economic that will help the plant manager to make decision. The
