🔥 PURPA / EPA CHP (Turbine MW + 50% Useful Thermal / Fuel LHV ≥ 45% Efficiency Standard)

Gas Turbine CHP PURPA Efficiency Calculator

Evaluate qualifying facility (QF) tax incentives and regulatory compliance for industrial gas turbine Combined Heat and Power (CHP / Solar Turbines / GE) systems under EPA & FERC PURPA standards: calculate total thermal and electrical energy balance, verify PURPA efficiency standard ($E = [ ext{Electrical MW} + 0.5 imes ext{Useful Thermal MBH}] / ext{Fuel LHV} ge 45%$), and co-generation returns.
