   Co-generation
   A method of using the heat that is produced as a by-product of electrical generation and that would otherwise be wasted; the heat can be used for space heating of buildings or for industrial purposes. Utilising the heat in this way means that 70-85% of the energy converted from fuel can be put to use, rather than the 30-50% that is typical for electrical generation alone. The term CHP is employed in the UK and some other parts of Europe, while the term co-generation is employed elsewhere in Europe, the US and other countries.

   Cogeneration
   A facility in which two or more forms of energy are generated simultaneously or interchangeably. Commonly, a cogeneration facility produces steam for an industrial or commercial process and uses some of the steam to turn a turbine that generates electricity. Another type of cogeneration arrangement combines several energy sources in a single facili ...

   cogeneration

   Cogeneration
   `Cogeneration` (also `combined heat and power`, `CHP`) is the use of a heat engine or a power station to simultaneously generate both electricity and useful heat. Conventional power plants emit the heat created as a byproduct of electricity generation into the environment through cooling towers, as flue gas, or by other means. CHP or a bottoming cycle captures the byproduct heat for domestic or industrial heating purposes, either very close to t...

    Cogeneration
    Production of two useful forms of energy such as high-temperature heat and electricity from the same process. For example, while boiling water to generate electricity, the leftover steam can be sold for industrial processes or space heating.

    Column generation
    This pertains to solving a linear program whose columns are generated during pricing. Typically, the number of columns is astronomically large, possibly infinite. An example is when solving the randomized program, as with the Generalized Lagrange Multiplier method. In that case, column generation consists of maximizing the Lagrangian. A similar vi...

    Consolidated power generation
    `Consolidated Power Generation` occurs when the total number of energy changing devices, such as automobile engines, decreases, while the total amount of usable energy increases or stays the same. The consolidation of hydrocarbon power generation to electrical power, and increased output of electricity, must take place for this change to occur. Currently, the prime example of this metamorphasis is the shift from hydrocarbon powered combustion e...

    Corticobasal degeneration
    `Corticobasal degeneration` (CBD) is a sporadic progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with atrophy of the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia. Onset is gradual. The first symptoms usually involve asymmetric changes in motor function, such as dystonia and myoclonus. Some patients experience alien hand syndrome. Language function can also be affected. CBD can expand to include extrapyramidal motor dysfunction (e.g. rigidity, tremor) an...
