hi:
we (writing from austria) call them Blockheizkraftwerk (BHKW) - http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/ translates this as: communal heating/power
station; thermal power station - some explanations with some nice diagrams
can be found at http://www.htl-steyr.ac.at/htlde/ak/3proje/peak/peak2.htm - in german, but
diagramms are pretty universal, i would reckon.
