Cat® G3412C CHP System Powers Connecticut Manufacturer PEPCO
Cat® dealer, H.O. Penn, partners with their customer, Plainville Electrical Products Company, to save on utility costs while developing new control systems in Bristol, Connecticut.
CHP SYSTEM PACKAGES
Caterpillar provides customized CHP system package proposals, including the required mechanical equipment and controls to capture and transfer the engine thermal energy to an industrial facility. In addition, Caterpillar offers exhaust emissions aftertreatment for highly regulated emission environments and utility grade Cat paralleling switchgear to sell excess electricity generated to the local electric grid.
GAS STANDBY POWER SYSTEMS
There has been an increasing move toward natural gas fueled standby power systems in recent years. Typically installed with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) or paralleling switchgear control for multiple generators, these power systems sense utility outages and automatically start the backup power system and transfer power to the emergency source. When normal grid power returns, the control system automatically shuts down the emergency generator.
