PACKAGED & SMALL COGENERATION
BY ROBERT STOKES
Greater availability of improved packaged units and small-scale, customised cogen solutions have seen CHP use in commercial and institutional premises rise steadily in recent years, said Daniella Muallem at IDC Energy Insights.
Energy costs are a significant operating cost for many commercial and institutional premises, so rising energy prices suggest CHP is increasingly likely to be seen as an effective approach to reduce these costs as well as the carbon footprint, she noted.…
MICRO COGENERATION

Micro cogeneration or CHP – defined by the European Commission as up to 50 kWe – is a market niche seeing lift-off as technology and financial drivers, such as financial incentives in Germany, align.
The global market grew 38% to EUR466 million (USD576 million) in 2011 and further growth to EUR1 billion (USD1.24 billion) is expected in 2012, according to Scotland based analysts Delta-ee.…

BY MJ DESCHAMPS
SLATED to be one of the fastest growing connectivity sectors over the next decade, the space for machine-to-machine (M2M) systems is evolving rapidly. The increasing ability to exchange key information and data between devices communicating end-to-end without human intervention is making it possible for operators to reduce costs, and improve efficiency and services to customers.…
LARGE SCALE COGEN
BY ROBERT STOKES
"We’re likely to see a growing trend towards toward biomass-based CHP over the next 10 years," said Daniella Muallem, senior research analyst at US-based IDC Energy Insights, EMEA division. This is already apparent in large cogen.
Case in point: an innovative 49.9MW biomass cogen plant – the largest of its kind in the United Kingdom – is on course to begin its commissioning phase in late 2012 before production starts in mid-2013.…
