Combined Heat and Power (CHP)

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is an efficient, clean, and reliable approach to generating power and thermal energy from a single fuel source. By installing a CHP system designed to meet the thermal and electrical base loads of a facility, CHP can increase operational efficiency and decrease energy costs, while reducing emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.

Torcon Energy Services understands infrastructure and equipment, and the systems that control them. Our team is at the forefront of new technology applications, regulations, risk assessment, and environmental economic policies and incentives.

TES collaborates to fully understand client goals, program objectives, user needs, and facility standards. Our comprehensive approach is expedited by the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to increase synchronized productivity in design and construction with a three-dimensional digital representation of the facility's functional and physical attributes.

Our CHP services include technical review of analysis and assumptions, project analysis and modeling, engineering development, assessment of CHP emissions impact, report component review and feedback.

CHP systems achieve fuel use efficiencies of 60 to 80%, compared to average fossil-fueled power plant efficiencies of 33% in the United States. This improvement in efficiency translates to:

• Reduced total fuel use
• Reduced emissions of regulated air pollutants
• Reduced emissions of carbon dioxide
• Energy cost savings
• Increased reliability
