Combine Heat & Power (Co-Generation) Plants
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plants:
Efficient, Reliable and Sustainable Energy Generation
Combined Heat and Power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, is the simultaneous production of electricity and useful thermal energy from a single integrated energy conversion process. In gas-turbine-based CHP plants, high-temperature exhaust gases are recovered to produce steam, hot water, or process heat instead of being discharged directly into the atmosphere.
By utilizing this recoverable thermal energy, CHP systems consume less fuel than the separate production of electricity and heat. Depending on the selected technology and the effective use of recovered heat, overall system efficiency can typically reach 70–90%.
Advantages of CHP
- Higher Overall Efficiency: Simultaneously produces electricity and useful thermal energy, reducing primary fuel consumption.
- Lower Emissions: Reduced fuel consumption can lower CO₂ and other greenhouse-gas emissions compared with separate heat and power generation.
- Energy Cost Savings: High overall efficiency and on-site generation can reduce energy costs and grid-related losses.
- Improved Energy Resilience: On-site generation can enhance supply reliability and reduce dependence on the utility grid.
- Flexible Heat Utilization: Recovered heat can be used for steam generation, hot water production, industrial processes, or absorption cooling.
NNG Energy’s CHP Solutions
NNG Energy provides integrated CHP solutions for industrial and commercial applications. Our services include system engineering, equipment integration, installation, commissioning, maintenance, overhaul, and performance optimization. Each solution is configured according to the facility’s electrical and thermal demand profiles to achieve reliable operation, high overall efficiency, and reduced environmental impact.
Applications of CHP Systems
CHP systems are suitable for facilities with simultaneous and continuous electrical and thermal energy demands, including:
- Industrial Facilities: Supplying electricity together with useful thermal energy such as process steam, hot water, hot air, or direct exhaust heat for manufacturing, chemical processing, and food production.
- Healthcare Facilities: Supporting the continuous demand for electricity, domestic hot water, space heating, sterilization steam, and other critical thermal services. When designed with island-mode capability and appropriate protection systems, CHP can also enhance energy resilience during grid disturbances.
- Commercial Buildings: Providing on-site electricity and recovered heat for space heating and hot-water production in hotels, shopping centres, office complexes, and mixed-use developments.
- Universities and Campuses: Serving centralized electrical and thermal loads across multiple buildings, laboratories, accommodation facilities, and district energy networks.
- Data Centres: Supporting on-site power generation while recovered heat is utilized for nearby thermal loads or converted into cooling through absorption chillers in a CCHP—or trigeneration—configuration.
NNG Energy develops CHP solutions based on each facility’s electrical and thermal load profiles. Proper system sizing and effective utilization of recovered heat can improve overall efficiency, reduce operating costs, and lower environmental impact compared with the separate generation of electricity and heat.
