Is Combined Heat
and Power right
for your site?
Discover the questions that need
to be asked when looking into the
feasibility of a Combined Heat
and Power installation.
7. What building
management or control
systems exist?
There may be an opportunity to upgrade the system in
order to integrate CHP into the existing plant control
system. You should assess the feasibility of integrating the
cogeneration system with your existing controls. Modern
CHP systems can include enough energy management
capacity to look after additional plant and building
operation. So if you dont currently have a BEMS system,
CHP could solve two problems at once.
Takeaways
Before carrying out a detailed feasibility study, ask yourself:
Have I evaluated other energy efficiency measures?
Is there sufficient basic infrastructure in place?
Is the site physically suitable?
Is the boiler scheduled for replacement?
Will there be changes to site size or production levels?
What energy contracts are currently in place?
What building management or control systems exist?
Is there sufficient demand for Combined Heat and Power?
