On-Site Power & Cogeneration.

Captive generation, CHP and standby power inside an industrial site. It must run in parallel with the grid, and carry the plant when the grid fails.

What We DeliverTalk to an Engineer

Types We Engineer.

No two On-Site Power & Cogeneration Projects are the same. Here is what changes from one type to the next.

Captive Generation

On-site generators supplying the plant, often in parallel with the grid.

What We Focus On
  • Grid-parallel protection
  • Load shedding and islanding

Combined Heat & Power

Generation with heat recovered for the process.

What We Focus On
  • Heat exchangers and boilers
  • Energy balance and audits

Standby Power

DG sets that carry critical loads when the grid fails.

What We Focus On
  • Transfer schemes and testing
  • Load bank and DG testing
