What Are the Advantages of Cogeneration and Trigeneration Systems?
- They generate energy at the location of consumption and increase energy efficiency.
1
- They provide 35-40% efficiency increase in electricity and heat generation compared to conventional (separate) power plants and boilers.2
- They reduce CO2 emission as the waste heat released into the atmosphere is recycled and used in conventional systems. Therefore, they provide an environmentally-friendly approach by reducing the carbon footprint of the facilities.3
- They save from electricity and heating costs.4
- The equipment used in Cogeneration and Trigeneration systems are durable and have low maintenance costs. 5
- The total energy expenditures of the businesses that build a Cogeneration or Trigeneration system decrease. Cogeneration Conversion is carried out without any disruption in the end-product or service quality.
6
- With decreasing energy costs, the competitiveness of the facility / business increases.
7 - Cogeneration and Trigeneration systems ensure energy supply assurance and protect against power cuts and disruptions with the optional solutions to be implemented. They enable energy continuity and increase in energy quality.
8
- They do not cause noise and sound pollution due to the low number of components in the system.
9
- Cogeneration and Trigeneration systems have low operating costs. These systems pay back the investment costs in a short time through energy continuity. 10
Cogeneration-Trigeneration Installation in 7 Steps
Consumption Analysis
The customer’s electricity bills and natural gas bills are requested and analysed. The previous hourly consumption data of the customer are analysed in detail via these bills. Legislative regulations, by-laws and technological compliance and other criteria are evaluated in this analysis. Enerjisa takes the responsibility of accurate system dimensioning if the past consumption data are provided in full. ‘Theoretical design and conformity assessment for business model’ stage is completed during this phase.
Field Analysis
Enerjisa teams visit the facility and conduct detailed field analysis. Electrical and mechanical infrastructure conformity, field and space conformity, which technology and equipment to choose for Cogeneration and Trigeneration systems, how to integrate the existing system with the Cogeneration or Trigeneration system, natural gas infrastructure are inspected.
Investment Analysis
The investment period is determined by calculating the return of investment and costs. Cost estimates, reimbursement plan and repayment mechanism are drawn at this stage.
Contract Signing
A long-term contract is signed between Enerjisa and the customer. The commitments of the customer and Enerjisa are determined in detail.
Procurement and Engineering Design
The equipment is selected and the method of procurement is determined, the engineering design of the project is prepared. Design stage is initiated to integrate the existing system with the Cogeneration and Trigeneration system.
Installation and Commissioning
Qualified teams of Enerjisa initiate installation, assembly and commissioning of the system. Throughout the contract period, the operational responsibility belongs to Enerjisa. Enerjisa undertakes completing the provisional acceptance procedures of TEDAŞ and commissioning the system.
Reporting, Monitoring and Maintenance: Continuous Performance Guarantee
All reporting, system monitoring and maintenance works are undertaken by Enerjisa, without any additional charges and in a completely transparent manner. Customers are periodically informed about the benefits and savings rates of Cogeneration or Trigeneration systems by means of benefit analysis and monthly reports.
Why Enerjisa?
Cogeneration and Trigeneration practices provided by Enerjisa reduce energy consumption, increase productivity and encourage sustainability. These systems contribute to the protection of environment by reducing energy costs and GHG emissions. Enerjisa performs the installation of systems without interrupting the usual operational activities while alleviating the financial burden of the investment with its innovative financing approach.
