Podcasts about combined heat and power

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Dan Nadav, Chief Executive Officer at Enviro Power. Dan has 20 years of experience in developing and deploying Distributed Generation (DG) technologies in North America and Europe. He is an expert in the commercialization of advanced energy technologies, and has led multiple product launch campaigns of various renewable technologies including geothermal, wind, waste heat recovery, and combined heat & power (CHP). He and Ted discuss his background (originally from Israel), and before joining the energy space, being a concert pianist. Prior to joining Enviro Power, Dan held management positions at Ormat Technologies, Repower AG, Siemens Gamesa, and Qnergy where he led business development, sales, and marketing activities. He holds an M.B.A. from Cornell University, Johnson Graduate School of Management.In his current role as Chief Executive Officer at Enviro Power, an advanced climate technology company that is revolutionizing the multi-billion heating system replacement market, Dan and his team are allowing property owners to generate on-site electricity within their existing heating system infrastructures. Enviro Power's patented SmartWatt Boiler technology integrates a simple, low-pressure steam turbine into a condensing boiler structure. The product helps reduce carbon emissions at the same purchase, installation, and maintenance costs as replacing a traditional boiler. Dan shares that the SmartWatt Boiler is also positioned to become hydrogen-ready for future production of CO2-free heat and power.

Alkaline Fuel Cell Power Corp. newly appointed CEO Frank Carnevale tells Proactive it has launched PWWR Flow Streams, a brand of its combined heat and power (CHP) division, following its April 22, 2022, acquisition of the CHP assets of the AI group of companies. The company said PWWR Flow's assets target the delivery of improved energy efficiency of more than 20% with lower costs to customers, whether in multi-residential or commercial applications.

The CPUC recently put out an interim order that by 2026 they want to put an additional 1000 MW of long lead, high capacity factor renewable electricity generation on the grid. On top of that, they also issued their preferred system plan which states that after 2026 they are still looking for an additional GW of generation. A great development for the Geothermal industry, but the question is...can we do it? Bring 1000MW online in 4 years?! The potential is there and the go get it attitude is there industry wide but many hurdles still remain including but not limited to is the permitting process (specifically NEPA) on federal lands. Come on and join in on this phenomenal conversation with Paul Thomsen, Vice President of Business Development for Ormat Technologies on these two topics and many more. Ormat Technologies https://www.ormat.com/en/home/a/main/Paul Thomsenhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/paulthomsen1/Geothermal Risinghttps://geothermal.org/Paul's Book Recommendation Hail Mary by Andy Weir CORE Knowledge https://www.linkedin.com/company/core-geothermalNick Cestari https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-cestari-48059268/

As part of their legal practice at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, attorneys Alan Seltzer and John Povilaitis focus on the energy and public utility space. They have specific work helping clients go through the process of installing combined heat and power units, also known as CHPs, to their facilities. Making your own electricity and using the waste heat to avoid energy purchases can be a complex process, but with the right team in place it can bring enormous financial, environmental, and operational benefits to host sites. During their careers, Alan and John have been fortunate to help many clients across various industries develop these projects and realize their long-term benefits. On this episode of Alternative Power Plays, John and Alan talk about the basic steps involved in bringing a CHP system to life, including what those considering CHP should think about at each step of the way. For any facility or business considering CHP or more closely examining their energy needs, visit www.BIPC.com/CHP to learn more about how Buchanan can help you navigate all the steps involved.

Control Your Own Destiny with Combined Heat and Power Systems Combined heat and power (CHP), also known as cogeneration, is the concurrent production of electricity or mechanical power and useful thermal energy (heating and/or cooling) from a single source of energy. Although it may not be widely recognized outside of industrial, commercial, institutional, and utility circles, CHP has been providing highly efficient electricity and process heat to some of the most vital industries, urban centers, and campuses in the U.S. for more than a century. In fact, Thomas Edison's Pearl Street Station was a CHP facility when it opened in 1882—the same year POWER was first published. According to the Department of Energy, most CHP applications can reasonably expect to operate at greater than 65% efficiency, a large improvement over the typical electric-only power plant. President Obama believed so strongly in the benefits that he signed an executive order on August 30, 2012, establishing a national goal of adding 40 GW of new CHP capacity by 2020. However, the country will fall well short of that target; only 2.5 GW was added between 2012 and 2016. Bill Castor, director of business development for Siemens Energy, was a guest on The POWER Podcast. Castor gave a presentation titled “Navigating Through the Challenges of Implementing Successful Onsite Generation Solutions in a Complex Market” on April 25 during the ELECTRIC POWER Conference and Exhibition in Las Vegas, Nevada. He touched on some of the main points from his presentation during the podcast interview. “CHP is an entirely different animal than your typical power plant because it is so intertwined with the end user—the host—as well as impacted by the outside grid,” Castor said. He noted that CHP results in not only reliability gains, efficiency gains, and environmental gains, but it also allows end users to take control of their own destinies. “Controlling your own destiny is one of the phrases that really is attached to CHP as a driver for the potential hosts of those units,” Castor said. “The whole story for CHP has to start though with the end user,” Castor said. “You need to have that thermal host in order to make [CHP] a sensible alternative.” Castor noted that industrial solutions come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Systems range from small to large, and can utilize an assortment of technologies including gas turbines, reciprocating engines, and fuel cells, as well as incorporating control systems, electrical systems, transformers, and more. “Utilities in the past have traditionally resisted CHP coming because it tends to take large customers away from the utility,” Castor said. But that is changing. “Many of the cases that we're looking at today involve either utility ownership and operation or at least a cooperation between the host and the utility to try to make those work,” he said.

Wednesday, May 22, 2013——The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a briefing on how combined heat and power (CHP) technology can provide critical facilities (e.g. hospitals, wastewater treatment), businesses, institutions, and communities with more resilient and reliable heat and power, while at the same time reducing energy costs and harmful emissions over time. This briefing introduced participants to CHP technology and presented a number of recent case studies in which CHP systems helped communities pull through extreme weather events when the grid went down. Speakers discussed both some of the opportunities and the barriers to deploying more CHP systems.
