The Tognum Group is one of the world‘s leading providers of distributed energy systems, injection systems and drive shafts, as well as diesel engines and complete drive systems for ships, heavy land and rail vehicles, military vehicles, construction and farm machinery, and the oil & gas industry. Under the umbrella of Tognum AG, MTU Onsite Energy bundles the competencies for distributed energy systems. MTU Onsite Energy offers you

comprehensive, intelligent and innovative system solutions based on diesel and gas engine technology – for all appli-cations, for the most diverse needs. MTU Onsite Energy stands for sustainability. Today and in the future, our focus is on developing and implementing system solutions for producing eco-friendly energy – such as combined heat and power plants fueled by natural gas.

Better energyNatural gas is to be used more widely in clean energy systems in the future, replacing other fossil fuels with a view to improving the global ecological balance. Natural gas fueled energy modules and generator sets from MTU Onsite Energy are technologically advanced solutions with outputs ranging from 100 kW

el to 2.2 MW

el that combine

the highest performance levels with low emissions.

MTU Onsite Energy develops solutions perfectly tailored to fi t each client’s specifi c application, whether in the public or private sector.

COMBINING OUR ENERGIES TO MAKE ENERGY: ECONOMICAL, SUSTAINABLE, CLEAN.


Generating electricity and heat locally – directly at the point of consumption – saves energy by allowing optimum adjustment to demand and by avoiding transmission losses. But more than that, when heat and power is produced by a gas-fueled modular CHP plant supplied by MTU Onsite Energy, 50% less carbon dioxide is released than when that energy is generated by conventio-nal means (oil-fi red heating and electricity from a coal-fi red power station). Saving primary energy, reducing harmful emissions and maximizing economy – these are all reasons for choosing our gas engine energy solutions. They have been in reliable use by local energy suppliers, electricity generating companies, public authorities, industrial and commercial enterprises, the food industry, hotels and even in monasteries for a considerable time already. In public swimming pools, sports and leisure centers, hospitals and spas, schools, barracks, broadcast stations and many other public buildings, MTU Onsite Energy CHP plants generate electricity and a guaranteed supply of heat at the same time.

The size and number of the modules used is based on an economic viability study that we carry out for every installation. Optimum economic effi ciency is dependent to a large degree on the energy price situation. Whether the plant is primarily used to produce heat or mainly for electricity generation, MTU Onsite Energy systems can easily handle either requirement.A longer annual period of maximum output duty can be achieved by combining the module with an absorption chiller system. The heat not required in the summer can then be transformed into cooling energy. The relatively small additional cost of a chiller further improves the overall economy of the system by extending its duty period.

Eco-friendly combined heat and power plants powered by gas-fueled spark-ignition engines can also be used as grid backup generators. Typical applications for such systems are hospitals, administrative offi ces and data centers. Choosing this option further improves the overall economy of the facility, as it saves the extra investment in a separate emergency power generator and associated equipment.

COMPACTCHP PLANTSSeries 400

Output range 100 – 400 kWel

MTU Onsite Energy has an advanced range of products centered around fast-running gas engines. Many of our systems have already completed well over 100,000 hours of service and still continue to reliably supply heat and electricity day after day – conclusive proof of the dependability of our engine technology.

We generally design CHP plants as multi-module systems so that overall plant outputs of as much as 5 MW

el can be achieved with

optimum effi ciency. Adjustment to the electrical or thermal load profi le is achieved by switching in or shutting down individual modules. Another advantage of multi-module systems is their high level of availability.

Our compact module technology is based on the economical principle of optimizing output/benefi t. Over 2,300 CHP modules in use worldwide are proof of that.

Compact modules offer not only high levels of electrical and thermal effi ciency but many other benefi ts too.

MTU Onsite Energy compact modules are

// space-saving// supplied ready to connect// factory tested// available as uncovered or enclosed units// easy to maintain.

When planning distribitued energy plants using CHP modules, the question of additional use as a grid backup or emergency power generator often arises. With synchronous generator and starter battery, our modules are fundamentally suitable for emergency power generation. The necessary adaptation of the hardware and software functions in the module control and monitoring system is carried out based on detailed technical consultation with the operator.


SPLIT CONFIGURATIONCHP PLANTS

Series 4000

Output range 750 – 2200 kWel

Energy modules and generator sets for outputs up to 2,200 kWel per

unit complete the MTU Onsite Energy range of natural gas CHP plants. In contrast with the lower-output modules, these systems are supplied as split confi guration installations rather than as compact modules. That means that the engine-and-generator set and the heat module are made as separate units. With the sizes that are necessarily required for the high outputs involved, the split confi guration offers greater benefi ts for the operator. Separation of the heat generation module enables optimum adaptation to the client’s requirements profi le and the availa-ble space at the installation site.

So in addition to the production of hot water at various temperatures, it also allows steam to be generated by separate utilization of the recove-red exhaust heat. In addition to these benefi ts, the split confi guration simplifi es transportation and fi tting.

Like the compact modules, the engine-and-generator sets are compre-hensively factory tested before delivery to the client.

CHP MODULE CONTROLLER:THE BRAINS OF THE SYSTEM.

MTU Onsite Energy is a system provider. That means that as well as supplying the actual module or genset, we offer you a complete system engineering package for your installation. One of the most important aspects is the control system technology, which comes standard when you buy from us. If the generator set is the heart of the system, then the module controller is its brain. Our industrial-computer controlled and dependa-ble electronics monitor the engine and the overall system to ensure optimum operation.

System Highlights:

// Control via RPS// Operation and visual display by means of

industrial PC and touch-screen panel// Visual display of all functional processes

and controls

// Numerous additional controls and functions can be integrated (CH4, gas tank, heat production mode, heat storage, mains power usage)

// Networking of multi-module plants via Ethernet

// Can be linked to master control systems// Wide choice of interface protocols (Ethernet,

Profi bus DP, 3964R, Modbus RTU)// Logging of all fault and status messages in a

database (up to 6 months of data can be recorded)

// Optional remote diagnosis via ISDN// Optional integration of SMS/e-mail client

(notifi cation of faults, daily reporting of all meter readings)

ONSITE ENERGY ALSO MEANS: ONSITE SERVICE.

MTU Onsite Energy has more than 30 years of experience in the fi eld of gas-fueled distributed energy plants. We use that experience to provide advice and support for our clients – to whatever extent the client wishes. It starts with technical assistance during the project planning phase, extends through general contractor services to delivery of a turnkey installation, and logically culminates in individually tailored servicing and maintenance programs. In that way we can guarantee the availability of your installation and the reliable and economical operation you demand. Wherever and whenever required.

The Services We Offer:

// Project planning and economic viability analysis// System provider services – from design of peripheral

systems to delivery and installation // General contractor services extending to maximum

specifi cations if required// Individually tailored service contracts for any system:

– Service contracts– Repair contracts– Maintenance contracts– Inspection contracts
