cogeneration, tri-generation & micro-cogeneration

bio+energía carries out Cogeneration, Tri-generation, Micro-cogeneration from the project phase to continue with the actual execution, start-up and maintenance.

We have firms and professionals with high level skills to undertake projects of this nature.

Cogeneration
Simultaneous generation of electricity and heat.

Highly efficient energy technology based on the production and joint use of electrical power and useful heat, which offers a number of advantages, including:
• Economic
• Environmental
• Social

Tri-generation
This process allows the simultaneous production of mechanical energy (which can later be transformed into electricity) and hot and cold (water) using the same fuel. In some cases, it is also called combined heat, cooling and power production (CHCP). This includes a CHP system, combined with absorption machinery (in some cases adsorption).

Using absorption cycles, tri-generation links up the demand for heat in winter to the need for air conditioning in summer months

Micro-cogeneration
Cogeneration is understood as thermodynamic and simultaneous production of two or more forms of usable energy use starting with a primary source of energy.
The two most common types of energy generation come from primary energy sources which are mechanical and thermal energy.

Generally, micro-cogeneration is considered the technology that applies cogeneration techniques on a scale defined by the electrical power that the equipment develops, which is inferior to 500 kW.

Legislation 2004/8/CE by the European Parliament and the Council of Europe, dated the 11th of February, relative to the promotion of cogeneration based on the demand for useful heat in the domestic energy market, and then modified by Legislation 92/42/CEE, which defines the micro-generation unit as a cogeneration unit with a maximum power that is inferior to 50 kWe.
