Control and Optimization of Combined Heat and Power Units
Electricity and heat under control – for efficient gas utilization.
Without smart control, CHP units can’t reach their full potential
CHP units are a great solution for facilities that need both electricity and heat. However, if they aren’t controlled based on real-time needs and operational priorities, they often run inefficiently – leading to energy waste, grid imbalance, and unnecessary gas consumption. Without integration into the microgrid, the CHP unit remains isolated, and its full potential goes untapped.
FLOWBOX EMOS manages CHP units as a fully integrated part of the microgrid
Monitoring of CHP unit operating parameters
FLOWBOX tracks the current availability, output, and system status in real time, and alerts you to potential faults or abnormal operation.
Control of electricity and heat production based on operational priorities
The system can prioritize either electricity or heat generation depending on seasonal or process needs.
Integration into microgrid management
CHP units are not managed in isolation. FLOWBOX connects them with other technologies (PV, batteries, loads) and optimizes the whole system as one.
Optimization of electricity-to-heat ratio
Based on operational data and priorities, FLOWBOX can adjust the gas-to-energy conversion ratio to reduce fuel usage and increase system efficiency.
Result: Higher efficiency, lower costs, and full control
With FLOWBOX EMOS, your CHP unit becomes an active part of your energy strategy. It adjusts to current electricity and heat demands, reacts to changes in your facility, and runs in the most efficient and sustainable way. The result: better gas utilization, fewer energy losses, and a faster return on investment.
