Your business can benefit from onsite cogeneration if there is value in
any combination of the following attributes:
- Lower Electricity Costs
- Lower Thermal Energy Costs (Heating and/or Cooling)
- Increased Power Reliability
- Increased Power Quality
All businesses can benefit from lower operating costs, and most can
benefit from increased energy reliability and cleaner power. In order to
benefit from Hess Microgen's / CCDS onsite cogeneration systems, your
business needs to meet certain electrical and thermal energy
requirements.
Typically, Hess Microgen's / CCDS onsite cogeneration is practical for
businesses that have at least the following electrical loads:
- 200 kW of electrical demand or greater and
- 120,000 kWh of electrical consumption per month (1,440,000 kWh per
year) or greater and have heating and/or cooling needs that meet at
least one of the following (or through combination a portion of each):
- 12,000 Therms of heating per month (60,000 Therms per year) or
greater and/or
- 55 Tons of chilling or greater
Thermal heat needs such as domestic hot water, heating, laundry, pool
heating, process heating, and steam, etc., and cooling needs such as
chilled water, brine, refrigeration, etc., and many other similar type
heating or cooling needs, are all considered attractive cogeneration
applications.
Onsite cogeneration economics are in part dependent on what is known as
the "Spark Spread" - the difference between the cost of
purchasing electricity from the utility and the price of the cogeneration
fuel (natural gas, propane, etc.). Other important considerations include
the cost of interruption or damage to your business because of power
outages or dirty power, both of which can be addressed by Hess Microgen /
CCDS systems. Therefore, the higher the utility electricity price
relative to the cost of fuel, and the greater the value placed on
reliable, clean power, the more economically attractive onsite
cogeneration becomes (note Hess Microgen / CCDS can often procure lower
cost gas than your business currently obtains).
