Simultaneous Electricity and Thermal Energy
If you need electricity and thermal energy simultaneously, a cogeneration also known as combined heat and power system, may be your solution and can offer a favorable return on investment.
By utilizing the exhaust energy from gas turbines, useful steam can be generated in a heat exchanger which can then be used in any number of applications, all with no additional fuel consumption. As a result, the overall efficiency of CHP systems can exceed 80 percent, making CHP one of the most energy-efficient methods of power generation.
Cogeneration allows you to benefit from two or three forms of energy for the price of one, with minimal environmental impact. These systems can turn clean-burning natural gas into cost-effective, reliable electricity, use steam for production processes, and implement heat for water and building space, or seasonal/process cooling.
Enerset Power Solutions is positioned to deliver our customers with the right products to provide the required ratio of power to heat for their CHP systems.
