Abstract
⺠Large-scale CHP systems are thermodynamically equivalent to virtual steam cycle heat pumps. ⺠COPs of such virtual heat pumps are necessarily better than the Carnot limit for real heat pumps. ⺠COPs can approach 9 for plant matched to district heating systems with flow temperatures of 90 °C. ⺠CHP combined with CCGT and CCS can reduce the carbon intensity of delivered heat â¼30-fold.
