Combined heat and power (CHP or cogeneration) describes the simultaneous generation of electrical power and heat. CHP has been well established for medium and high power ranges (> 100 kW el. power). The Kompakte Dampf Turbine (KDT, meaning compact steam turbine) addresses the low-end of power generation (~2 kW el. power). The KDT is a highly integrated power plant of small dimensions able to use various heat sources. Its simple design promises a low-cost CHP for residential homes.
