Cogeneration (CHP) is defined as the production of two forms of
energy from a single source. For business and industry this is usually
the creation of electrical power along with steam, hot water and/or chilled
water.
Benefits
of Cogeneration
Improved Onsite
Power System Reliability:
Near total elimination of utility electrical outages, including the
associated loss of workforce productivity and inventory.
Better Economic Utilization of
Waste Heat:
Hot water and space heating, as well as air conditioning
and refrigeration with advanced absorption chiller technology.
Positive Cash
Flow & Quick Payback:
Many projects generate positive cash flow & paybacks of less than 5 years
Diversification
of Energy Dependency:
Options for multiple and alternate fuels, energy contract
& facility
operations
Total
Increased National Energy Efficiency:
30% utility efficiency (2 out of 3 barrels of oil wasted) vs. 85%
for CHP.
Reduction of
Environmental Emissions:
Systems emit less pollutants than utilities or existing onsite fuel
burners.
Improved
National Energy Security:
Distributed generation systems reduce the impact of terrorist
attacks aimed at our utility electrical grids & substation.
