Is Your Facility a Candidate for Combined Heat & Power (CHP)?
Is Your Facility a Candidate for Combined Heat & Power (CHP)?
Infrastructure failures and erratic weather conditions are causing more building owners and facility professionals to seek alternative forms of energy that increase resilience and help control costs.
Combined Heat & Power (CHP) systems have been in use for decades, and improved technology is making this form of distributed generation even more beneficial for certain types of facilities.
To determine if CHP is a good fit for your facility, download this list of 9 Qualifying Questions.
Based on GEM Energy’s vast experience with CHP installations throughout our region, these 9 questions address specific conditions that are ideal for gaining the most benefit from CHP.
Remember, with a CHP system, heat that is normally wasted in conventional power generation is recovered as useful energy, which avoids the losses that would otherwise be incurred from separate generation of heat and power.
While the conventional method of producing usable heat and power separately has a typical combined efficiency of 45%, CHP systems can operate at efficiency levels as high as 80%. (Source: Energy Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy).
A CHP system is a reliable, on-site solution to help reduce energy costs, to provide energy resilience, and to take advantage of thermal opportunities from waste heat recovery.
