The Benefits of IIA PowerGen CHP Systems

Why depend on traditional methods of generating energy, when nearly a third is typically wasted in the form of heat? IIA PowerGen’s Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems produce electricity while putting thermal energy to use for cooling, heating, humidity control, energy storage, and other process functions. Our CHP systems are significantly more efficient than conventional power systems resulting in:

• Reduced Energy Costs. Combined heat and power capabilities enable a higher system efficiency, which results in lower energy costs. The savings of primary energy achieved with CHP systems are typically 20% to 30% compared with systems that generate power and heat separately. IIA PowerGen’s CHP systems can rapidly switch between natural gas and diesel fuels allowing you to control costs when fuel prices rise and fall.

• Environmental Benefits. Our CHP systems run cleaner, quieter, and with reduced emissions compared to traditional methods of power generation.
   
• Risk Reduction. A CHP system can be fully automated and operated from remote locations through a wireless broadband connection, reducing the risk to personnel who might otherwise be working on site.
   
• Improved Grid Reliability. By incorporating a variety of technologies, our CHP systems have the flexibility to serve a single-building or an entire campus. They can operate simultaneously with your current power source giving you more control over power load. They can also operate independently, freeing your business from a highly vulnerable power grid and transmission lines.
