CHP Technological Advances

Packaged CHP Systems

According to the DOE, "packaged CHP systems" integrated into commercial buildings can offer up to a 30-40 percent improvement in building efficiency over today's best practices. CHP component manufacturers and DOE are developing pre-engineered, modular CHP systems to make it easier for building owners to connect CHP systems to power, piping, or ducting systems. 

 

Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG)

The waste heat generated by a combustion turbine can be used to generate steam in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), which can power a steam turbine, heat living space, or generate cooling using steam-driven chillers. The advantages of these types of systems are inexpensive electrical power and better reliability since the user may be independent from the grid. These systems can be started even if the grid has failed.

National Grid (LSE: NG; NYSE:NGG) is an electricity and gas company that connects consumers to energy sources through its networks.  In the northeast U.S., we connect more than seven million gas and electric customers to vital energy sources, essential for our modern lifestyles. In Great Britain, we run the gas and electricity systems that our society is built on, delivering gas and electricity across the country. National Grid delivers electricity to approximately 3.3 million customers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Rhode Island. It manages the electricity network on Long Island under an agreement with the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), and owns more than 4,000 megawatts of contracted electricity generation, providing power to more than one million LIPA customers. It is the largest distributor of natural gas in northeastern U.S., serving approximately 3.4 million customers in New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.  For more information please visit our website: www.nationalgridus.com
