CHP/Cogeneration
Cogeneration systems, also known as combined heat and power (CHP) systems, make efficient use of the fuel you put into them. They reclaim waste heat and put it back to work. CHP can lower greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency and reduce the burden on the electric grid.
Why Cogeneration Matters
CHP systems help you reduce life cycle costs and provide greater reliability and resiliency. Changes in this field have been fast and frequent. Our team draws on deep experience and understanding of power generation systems as it designs, builds, permits and interconnects CHP plants as large as 200 MW and as small as 500 kW for universities, hospitals, large office buildings, data centers, corporate and government campuses, and large international airports.
How We Help Implement It
To offset the costs of your CHP system, we develop financial and economic cost models, prepare grant applications and arrange partnerships with local utilities. We have the ingenuity and internal resources to develop and implement a CHP project that efficiently and cost-effectively meets your facility’s energy needs. We also deliver packaged CHP systems that can trim capital costs by 15% to 30%, reduce installation time by up to two-thirds, and optimize your system for peak period operation and expansion when needed. Our professionals can develop utility master plans incorporating CHP systems to give you a road map to long-term efficiency.
Project Delivery
- Front-end planning: We help you benefit from maximum predictability in capital expenditures, enabling project cost reductions of up to 20% and compressing schedules.
- Project and program management: We provide strength and stability to help you tackle the design, construction, permitting and interconnection of complex cogeneration projects.
- Engineer-procure-construct (EPC) and design-build: This approach reduces your risk, shortens your project schedules, provides a single point of contact, lessens your staffing commitment and establishes an environment for innovation.
