Utilizing Combined Heat and Power (CHP)

In this webinar we will discuss the many benefits of utilizing CHP. We’ll hear how CHP is often used to help end-users meet their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals as it can significantly reduce emissions. CHP solutions can run in island mode, providing resiliency to facilities from an often unreliable grid.

Right-sizing Gensets for Motor Loads

Like engines, electrical generators must meet load demands. While engines provide mechanical power, generators influence kVA and voltage control. Electric motors draw starting currents 2x to 8x normal running current, and they may not start or may run at reduced speeds if excessively loaded. Please join Chris Norris, energy systems engineer for Cat Electric Power, in discussing how loads, particularly motor loads, affect generator sizing.
