CHP SYSTEMS: PROVEN THOUSANDFOLD. FOR A SECURE ENERGY SUPPLY.


Building maintenance

Thanks to their reliability and effi ciency, our CHP systems are often deployed in the fi eld of local heat supply. There are convincing arguments for the use of distributed energy supply systems powered by natural gas – especially when it comes to the accommodation of numerous buildings and housing units.Local heat is an economically viable alternative to separate heat generation in the individual buildings. Its users benefi t from various cost advantages. Besides the lower specifi c investment costs, maintenance is less complex and therefore more cost effective for one bigger system than for various small ones. Additionally, users gain space since a boiler plant in their own building is no longer necessary. The CHP covers the heat requirement base load economically, reliably and eco-friendly. Heat storage and an additional peak load boiler enable a fl exible generation adaptation to the users’ heating profi le.

Industry

Companies with a continuous demand for electricity and heat for their production processes can benefi t from cogeneration systems. Whether in food processing, chemical production or traditional manufacturing processes, our CHP systems provide power, heat and cool-ing energy for the individual demands of industrial applications – effi ciently and independently.

MTU Onsite Energy’s gas powered CHP modules are also an interesting alternative if the capacities of production facilities are to be extended. Instead of increasing line capacities, you invest in a distributed, independent energy solution. In order to enhance their production processes profi tability, more and more companies decide for our CHP systems.We will be happy to inform you about the possible savings potential within your energy supply on the basis of an economic effi ciency calculation.

Safety-critical applications

For safety-critical applications, for example in hospitals or data centers, a continuous energy supply is essential. Our gas engine systems have proven themselves many times. Depending on the legal requirements on site, our CHP modules can also take on emergency power generator functions.

CHP SYSTEMS: HIGHLY VERSATILE.INDIVIDUALLY DIMENSIONED.


ALL YOU NEED:POWER. POWER AND HEAT. POWER, HEAT AND COOLING ENERGY.

With our aggregates, modules and container solutions, we offer different systems to supply basic power, power and heat generation or even power, heat and cooling energy. Whatever application you focus on – MTU Onsite Energy systems fulfi l your demands.

Power supply

Our gas gensets are frequently used for simple power generation, guaranteeing a 24/7 security of supply at locations with unreliable or missing electricity networks. According to the demands, our systems can be used for grid-parallel or off-grid operation.

Power and heat supply (CHP)

Many buildings and building complexes have a high demand for heat and power. Hospitals, schools, sports facilities, offi ce and administrative buildings, department stores and shopping centers often separately generate heat and obtain power from the public grid. Energy modules from MTU Onsite Energy can provide a signifi cantly more economical alternative. The heat generated by our CHP systems can be used not only for heating but also as process heat, e.g. in industrial enterprises. Whether in the chemical industry or metal processing, parallel power generation can increase the operating effi ciency.

Power, heat and cooling heat supply (CHPC)

Using an absorption chiller, CHP systems can also create cooling energy with their generated heat - a fl exibility that can, for example, enable the climate control for a whole offi ce block. The additional costs for an absorber are low, and thanks to the longer lifespan, the system’s operating effi ciency can be further increased. The supply of cooling energy plays an important role not only for building climatization. It can be used in many other fi elds, such as process cooling for manufacturing, food refrigeration, ambient cooling in temperature sensitive areas (e.g. data centers) or building maintenance. Consequently, the generation of cooling energy extends the possibilities of using our CHP systems in a very cost effective way. We will gladly provide you with a cost-benefi t-analysis for your individual application.

MTU Onsite Energy has an advanced product program, with reliable gas engines at its heart. 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 modules as multi-module systems so that overall system outputs of as much as 5 MWel 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 both output and benefi t. Over 2,500 CHP modules in use worldwide are proof of that.

Compact modules not only offer high levels of electrical and thermal effi ciency with a fuel-effi ciency level of up to 90 % and beyond, but also many other benefi ts.
