Combined Heat and Power (CHP) The Draft New Jersey Energy Energy Master Plan calls for the development of 1,500 MW of CHP generation over the next ten years.

Typical CHP System

CHP can avoid 60% of the potential growth in carbon dioxide emissions between 2006 and 2030.

The most commonly used approach to determining a CHP system's efficiency is to calculate total system efficiency. Also known as thermal efficiency, the total system efficiency ( o) of a CHP system is the sum of the net useful power output (WE) and net useful thermal outputs (ΣQTH) divided by the total fuel input (QFUEL), as shown below: The most commonly used approach to determining a CHP system's efficiency is to calculate total system efficiency.

Power reliability is a critical issue for many industrial and institutional facilities, Loss of electric power represents a quantifiable business, safety, and health risk to their operations.

CHP can be a reliable and cost-effective alternative to installing unproductive backup generators to provide protection against extended outages CHP can be a reliable and cost-effective alternative to installing unproductive backup generators to provide protection against extended outages

CHP as a Reliability Solution Rather than install a diesel backup generator to provide outage protection, a facility can design capability into a CHP system that provides electric and thermal energy to the site on a continuous basis, resulting in daily operating cost savings

Some Incentives for CHP New Jersey EDA has created a suite of financial incentives to help fund clean energy projects. One of which is called the Clean Energy Solutions (CES) fund. It provides interest-free loans and grants to ensure that commercial, industrial and institutional entities have the resources they need to grow and prosper while simultaneously reducing New Jersey’s carbon footprint by employing clean efficient energy solution including CHP. select the Clean Energy Solution tab for information and applications.
