Harness the Heat

Cogen Resilience

Cogen Resilience and Cost Savings

Combined heat and power (CHP) installations allow you to use the heat from your generator to heat your facility or for another functional process. Not only does CHP make more effective use of your power, it can run on island mode to provide backup power when you need it most! With CHP, you have the confidence of resilience from the grid, even in the most severe weather event.

Boosting Efficiency with CHP

Based in New Brunswick, N.J., Saint Peter’s University Hospital is a nonprofit acute care hospital providing a full scope of adult medical and surgical services. The Children’s Hospital at Saint Peter’s University Hospital offers a full range of specialized pediatric healthcare services for newborns and children.

Three years ago, the hospital doubled down on its commitment to energy efficiency when it began the installation of a 2 MW combined heat and power (CHP) plant, powered by a Cat® G3516H generator set fueled by natural gas.

STAYING POWERED UP WITH COGEN

To meet the power demand at its Curtis Bay facility, W.R. Grace & Co. commissioned a CHP plant powered by two Cat 3520H generator sets, which offers an estimated $1.2 million in annual energy savings. CHP also increases the reliability of the facility’s electrical supply to ensure it can operate 24/7 without interruption.
