Combined heat and power

CHP starts with a balance of electrical and thermal demand. We assess a unit’s suitability for the facility’s actual operating profile.

Approach

An engineering basis
for your project.

A solution for critical infrastructure must account for year-round heat use, electrical demand, gas supply, siting and grid connection conditions. Economic scenarios use agreed tariffs and operating assumptions.

Island operation and black start require suitable equipment and an agreed electrical design. Payback periods are assessed individually.

What the scope
can include

  • Analyse heat and electricity consumption profiles.
  • Select unit parameters and the heat recovery scheme.
  • Design integration, automation and utility connections.
  • Coordinate supply, installation, testing and operator training under contract.
First step

What we need
to get started

  • Hourly or monthly consumption profiles.
  • Gas supply and electricity network parameters.
  • Available sites and installation constraints.
  • Operating requirements during power outages.

Common questions

Will CHP operate during a power outage?

This depends on the unit, starting systems, automation, gas supply and electrical connection. Conditions must be established during design.

How is capacity selected?

Using the combined electricity and heat load profiles, including seasonality, backup requirements and network operating modes.

A facility. A challenge.
A practical solution.
