CHP FOR INSTITUTIONS
Recover Waste Heat from Turbine Exhaust and Convert It Into Usable Thermal Energy
Maximize Energy Efficiency, Minimize Costs
For campuses with substantial or continuous thermal loads, CHP provides an efficient alternative to producing heat and power separately, reducing fuel use, emissions, and long-term operating costs.
FlexEnergy’s gas turbine technology has supported mission-critical institutional facilities for decades. When paired with heat-recovery systems, these turbines create a reliable CHP platform capable of serving heating, cooling, and process loads across large, multi-building campuses.
Institutional Energy Challenges
Large institutions must balance reliability, cost, and sustainability while navigating constraints such as:
- Overloaded or aging electric grids
- Long utility upgrade or interconnection timelines
- Unpredictable grid reliability
- Increasing sustainability and emissions reduction requirements
CHP from FlexEnergy offers a practical pathway for institutions to increase overall system efficiency and reduce dependence on external power infrastructure.
