No technology remains static, especially when that technology is still in the early stages of large-scale deployment in many places around the world. Many countries wish to see a major expansion of cogeneration take place, and such a planned expansion often of an order of magnitude in scale can result in significant developments of the various technologies used in cogeneration plants. This development can: decrease cost; increase reliability; increase efficiency; ease operation and maintenance; extend life; ease installation; improve control; and provide greater interchangeability of parts.
