a factory is using a combined gas/steam turbine to produce thermal energy and electricity "dabei werden Waerme- und Stromerzeugung in einem intelligenten Wirkkreis durch Kraefte-Waerme Kopplung verbunden", the best I have come up with is "intelligent reactive circle" which I don't like. Many thanks for all help, much appreciated, in advance.
