Benefits of Gas Engine CHP

Natural gas is a fossil fuel formed when layers of buried plants and animals are exposed to intense heat and pressure over thousands of years. The energy that the plants and animals originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of carbon in natural gas. Natural gas is combusted to generate electricity, enabling this stored energy to be transformed into usable power. Natural gas is a nonrenewable resource because it cannot be replenished on a human time frame. The natural gas power production process begins with the extraction of natural gas, continues with its treatment and transport to the power plants, and ends with its combustion in boilers and turbines to generate electricity. Initially, wells are drilled into the ground to remove the natural gas. After the natural gas is extracted, it is treated at gas plants to remove impurities such as hydrogen sulfide, helium, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, and moisture. Pipelines then transport the natural gas from the gas plants to power plants. Power plants use several methods to convert gas to electricity. One method is to burn the gas in a boiler to produce steam, which is then used by a steam turbine to generate electricity. A more common approach is to burn the gas in a combustion turbine to generate electricity. Another technology, that is growing in popularity is to burn the natural gas in a combustion turbine and use the hot combustion turbine exhaust to make steam to drive a steam turbine. This technology is called "combined cycle" and achieves a higher efficiency by using the same fuel source twice. Natural gas is a fossil fuel in liquid form that can be used as an energy source. When it's burned, it releases 25 percent fewer greenhouse gases and pollutants (sulfur, carbon, nitrogen) into the atmosphere than burning oil does. Natural gas is primarily methane gas (anywhere from 70 to 90 percent), but it also contains trace amounts of other usable gases, such as ethane, propane, butane and nitrogen.
Cogeneration (cogen) through combined heat and power (CHP) is the simultaneous production of electricity with the recovery and utilization heat. Cogeneration is a highly efficient form of energy conversion and it can achieve primary energy savings of approximately 15-40% by compared to the separate purchase of electricity from the national electricity grid and a gas boiler for onsite heating. Combined heat and power plants are typically embedded close to the end user and therefore help reduce transportation and distribution losses, improving the overall performance of the electricity transmission and distribution network. For power users where security of supply is an important factor for their selection of power production equipment and gas is abundant, gas-based cogeneration systems are ideally suited as captive power plants (i.e. power plants located at site of use).

We have extensive experience of ‘energy audits’

We have extensive experience of ‘energy audits’ whereby we gather information, identify potential problems, and analyse measurements and statistics. On this basis, we can then propose and implement various measures to streamline energy consumption, reduce operating costs and be more environmentally friendly than we were with the old system. An energy audit and subsequent actions could lead to energy costs being reduced by 20 to 30 per cent. The indoor climate is preserved or even improved at the same time.
Increasingly in the last several decades, industrial energy audits have exploded as the demand to lower increasingly expensive energy costs and move towards a sustainable future have made energy audits greatly important. Their importance is magnified since energy spending is a major expense to industrial companies (energy spending accounts for ~ 10% of the average manufacturer's expenses). This growing trend should only continue as energy costs continue to rise. While the overall concept is similar to a home or residential energy audit, industrial energy audits require a different skillset. Weatherproofing and insulating a house are the main focus of residential energy audits. For industrial applications, it is the HVAC, lighting, and production equipment that use the most energy, and hence are the primary focus of energy audits.

Solar power

How a solar energy system works.
1. Photovoltaic (PV) cells convert sunlight to direct current (DC) electricity.
2. The inverter converts DC into alternating current (AC) electricity.
3. The electrical panel sends power to your lights and appliances.
4. The utility meter measures the energy you draw and feed back to the grid.

Solar power is produced by collecting sunlight and converting it into electricity. This is done by using solar panels, which are large flat panels made up of many individual solar cells. It is most often used in remote locations, although it is becoming more popular in urban areas as well. When your excess energy goes to the grid, your utility company issues you a credit, in certain jurisdictions. And that’s how you start lowering energy bills. Those credits offset future consumption like the electricity you use at night.

Why use us? EASY
- We arrange everything in your purchase of solar cells and take care of the entire process, from consultation to fully installed system. SAFE
- Our employees are trained, certified and experienced. Additionally, we have 25 years’ power warranty on the solar panels. ECONOMIC
- With a low investment cost, long life, and rising electricity prices, solar cells is a safe investment for the future
HIGH QUALITY We use class A and B+ only.
