of cogeneration units

What is a micro CPH unit?

A CPH unit (combined heat and power, also
cogeneration) is an independent power and
heat generation unit.
It allows the user to either sell the entire
amount of generated electricity into the
electricity grid or use it for own consumption,
and the thermal energy can be used for
heating, hot domestic water preparation and
various technological processes. In power
generation, we can achieve primary energy
savings of over 25 % compared to the separate
generation.

Operation
The main element of a CHP unit is a fuel
fired three-stroke/four-stroke engine which
converts the combustion energy of the fuel
to thermal and mechanical energy; the
latter is then converted to electricity by a
generator. We therefore speak of Combined
Heat and Power units. The exhaust gases are
not discharged directly into the environment;
they flow through a flue gas/heat exchanger
where heat is extracted from them. The
heat exchanger is connected to the external
(secondary) circuit of the transmission line.

The control unit takes full control over

operation of the entire CHP unit system.
The control system is of key importance for
proper operation as well as for diagnostics
and elimination of potential defects.
A micro CHP system effectively transforms
90 % of the energy input, i.e. approximately
40 % as electricity and 50 % as thermal
energy. Energy losses of a CHP unit amount
to approximately 10 %.

Options for electricity

consumption
In most cases, the generated electricity is
given away to the electricity grid. In case of
greater demand, it can also be used for own
consumption.

COOLED EXHAUST GASES

Electricity for own

consumption or
feeding into the power

Options for heat

consumption
The generated heat, mainly in the form of hot
water with the temperature of up to 90 C, is
distributed to consumers through a distribution
system. The heat can be used for heating of
rooms, hot domestic water preparation and
various technological processes.

Interface
We have developed our own central control
system that is crucial for proper functioning
of the unit. The system is used to collect key
information on the operation of the unit and to
immediately report any defects and deficiencies
in the operation of the CHP unit. This allows
the client and other authorised persons to
automatically obtain the necessary information
on the operation of their units (e.g. generated
electricity and heat, achieved efficiency rates,
fuel consumption, errors during operation, etc.).
