Commercial CHP systems are successfully applied in a range of different applications including office buildings, airports and retail centers. Where there is a local demand for cooling, combined cooling heat and power technology, also called trigeneration may provide added benefits. Financial savings and tax benefits Commercial CHP systems can provide significant financial savings on fuel costs used to provide electricity, heat and cooling. In some countries the government provides tax benefits to the owner of cogeneration plants. Resilient, stable and flexible power supply Utilizing the local natural gas supply network gas engine-based CHP systems provide a stable supply of electrical power that, if needed, can be isolated from the local electricity grid. The heat produced by the engine can be recovered either as hot water or as steam for use by surrounding operations. In addition, if there is a local need for cooling power, the heat can be fed into an absorption chiller providing a source of cold water. This cold water can in turn be used to support a refrigeration or air conditioning system. Systems providing electricity, heat and cooling are called trigeneration plants. Gas engine CHP plants can be combined with other power generation or storage technologies as part of a microgrid. Environmental benefits Gas engine CHP plants generate electricity at high efficiency. They can be fueled by a range of low carbon and renewable gases to improve environmental performance of a commercial building or development. Embedded generation helps to minimize losses associated with transmission of electricity. Commercial Applications Gas engine-based combined heat and power can be used in a variety of different commercial applications. Potential users include: Office buildings Airports Retail developments Combined residential and commercial developments District energy schemes To find out more about the benefits of cogeneration for your development please contact your local Clarke Energy office for more information.
