SUSTAINABILITY
In conventional power generation, much of the fuel energy value is wasted and significant amounts of electricity are lost in the transmission and distribution of the power. In a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) application, a natural gas turbine or reciprocating engine, located at the client’s facility, is used to turn a generator. Waste heat is recovered and beneficially used in the customer's facility to generate steam, hot water or chilled water.
COMBINED HEAT AND POWER
The Benefits
The dramatically improved fuel efficiency of CHP drives a number of benefits:
-
Immediate energy cost savings
-
Reduced environmental impact
-
A hedge against future energy price inflation
-
Potential backup power source during utility outages
Why Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
By recovering the waste heat from the engine or turbine, a CHP system uses more than 75% of the fuel energy value. This is a significant improvement over the typical 51% fuel efficiency realized with conventional grid supplied electricity coupled with on-site boilers.
How To Get Started
TLS Energy, LLC. will conduct an initial walk-thru of your facility to collect information on its energy use profile, existing thermal systems and electrical and natural gas infrastructure. Based on that preliminary information, we will prepare an initial project financial pro-forma indicating a recommended system size and project scope and a range of financial metrics. The analysis will include estimates of all Federal, State and utility subsidies we believe we can secure for the project. From that point, interested clients can engage us to manage the project from conceptual engineering, through final design, construction and commissioning. And TLS Energy, LLC. can provide both turnkey and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) installation options.
