Combined Heat & Power - Blue Star Power Gen

Overview

Combined Heat & Power (CHP) systems, also known as cogeneration, are an efficient means of generating both electricity and useful heat from a single fuel source, typically propane or natural gas. These systems are highly efficient, often achieving efficiencies over 90%, which greatly surpass traditional power generation methods.

Key Features of CHP

• Increased Efficiency:

  • Utilizes waste heat that would be lost in conventional power generation.

• Cost Savings:

  • Uses a single fuel source for electricity and heat, leading to substantial savings.

• Reduced Environmental Impact:

  • Lower fuel consumption and emissions contribute to a smaller carbon footprint.

• Enhanced Reliability:

  • Provides resilience against power outages through on-site power generation.

• Versatility and Adaptability:

  • Can be tailored for residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

How CHP Works

• A generator produces electricity, and the heat generated is captured through a heat recovery system.
• This thermal energy is repurposed for:
  • Space heating
  • Hot water production
  • Powering industrial processes

Applications

• Residential:
  • Provides electricity, hot water, and space heating.
• Commercial:
  • Powers office spaces, hotels, hospitals, and malls.
• Industrial:
  • Supplies electricity and steam for manufacturing processes.

Advantages Over Traditional Systems

CHP systems eliminate efficiency losses associated with separate production of electricity and heat. They also lead to a reduced carbon footprint, offering significant economic, environmental, and societal benefits.
