Combined heat and power supply

Understanding the concept of CHP systems

The CHP or combined heat and power supply, also known as cogeneration,
generates electricity and utilizes the thermal energy that usually goes wasted in the
process. In the conventional power generation, usually, 2/3 of energy used to
produce electricity is squandered in the form of heat discharged to the atmosphere,
which implies only 1/3 of the input fuels potential energy is converted into usable
energy. The CHP systemabsorbs the heat, which is wasted during electricity
generation process to provide useful thermal energy such as steam or hot water.
This can be utilized for thermal cooling, domestic hot water and industrial
processes. Therefore by preventing distribution losses, CHP can achieve efficiencies
of over 80% when compared to conventional technologies which achieve only 50%
efficiency.

CHP systems- Features and applications

The CHP systems provide electric power and heat from a single fuel source. It also
uses diverse fuels to operate such as natural gas, biogas, coal etc.it is considered as
the highly efficient form of energy conversion. The CHP system is used in over 4,400
facilities worldwide. They are prominently used in:

1> Commercial buildings


2> Residential, institutions
3> Municipal Corporation and
4> Manufacturing sectors.

Enerzea supports adaptive and innovative CHP solution

Enerzea, A leading eco-friendly power generating company has effectually


implemented the concept of CHP system in their Gensets to provide optimal support
to the manufacturing sectors, where continuous high energy power supply is
mandated. Enerzea offers power back up and optimized combined heat and power
(CHP) solution to food processing, chemical, textile production or other
manufacturing processes to maximize uptime.

Case Study: Enerzea provides best CHP Gensets to meet uninterrupted power
supply for textile industries in Surat.

The textile capital of India and Diamond Capital of the world, Surat is a fast growing
city in the state of Gujarat. The textile industries at Surat thrive on the continuous
supply of power for the production process and quality control of fabric
manufacturing. The Eagle Fiber Pvt. Ltd, a subsidiary of the leading Indian textile
conglomerate Eagle Group, Gujarat Polyfilms Pvt. Ltd. (GPPL), Alliance Fibers and
Alliance Filament have explored alternative power solutions to ensure that their
machines and systems are never switched off during inevitable power cuts and
hence, after in-depth research, zeroed on Enerzea for distributed captive power.

The expertise at Enerzea carefully analyzed the customers requisite and suggested
adaptive and innovative solution - CCHP (Combined Cooling Heat & Power) Gensets
to effectually meet uninterrupted power supply for smooth operations of textile
industries. The Gensets consist of a generator, a heating or cooling system and plant
control. A combustion engine is used to drive the electrical generator while energy
generated by heat from the exhaust and cooling water system accumulated during
the combustion process is converted to offer cooling and heating.

Enerzea supported comprehensive, tailored Gensets to effectually meet the power


requirements of all its clients in Surat.
