The report explains how a facility can obtain both useful heat and electrical or mechanical power from a shared fuel input. Its steam-turbine discussion distinguishes backpressure and condensing arrangements, and defines turbine isentropic efficiency through actual versus ideal enthalpy drop. For example, a 400 kJ/kg actual drop compared with a 500 kJ/kg isentropic drop gives efficiency . The useful heating output remains a separate energy stream, so electrical efficiency alone does not describe the complete installation.[ref]
