EFFICIENT CHP GENERATOR SYSTEMS REDUCE OPERATING COSTS

Many industrial facilities such as manufacturing plants, refineries and regional district heating plants reduce operating costs by implementing a Cat combined heat and power (CHP) system (also known as cogeneration

Cat CHP Systems offer:
- Energy efficiency up to 90 percent
- Reduced emissions and energy costs versus separate heat
  and electrical generation systems

Many industrial facilities benefit financially via distributed generation (DG). Especially true when any of the following apply:
- The local electric grid is unreliable
- Natural gas is an inexpensive alternative to grid electricity
- Generator sets can be applied during peak times of day to avoid
  high electrical utility demand charges, known as peak shaving.

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.
