What Is a Combined Heat and Power System?
Combined heat and power, also called cogeneration, is a technology that uses a single fuel source to generate heat and electricity. Since a CHP setup produces power on-site, it results in minimal loss, and waste heat reapplies to the facility through process heating, steam, or chilled water. A CHP system can power and heat a single facility or serve as a district energy or utility resource to provide electricity and thermal energy to multiple users.
Benefits of Cogeneration
By choosing a cogeneration energy solution, you will experience many economic and sustainability benefits, like:
- Sustainability: CHP can be a highly sustainable electricity source if renewable fuel, such as biogas or hydrogen, for a gas engine is used.
- Improve energy efficiency: CHP captures heat that is typically wasted and is a highly effective form of energy conversion.
- Reduced energy costs: CHP is highly efficient, making it a great choice if your business wants to lower its energy budget. Additionally, using gas engines can achieve up to 40% energy savings when compared to separate purchases of grid electricity and gas.
- Reduced emissions: When evaluated against separate head and power options, CHP reduces emissions of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants.
