Combined Heat and Power(CHP) systems |
How do we proceed?
The BEE has recently launched a CHP working group. Professionals interested in CHP in India are invited to join.This working group will undertake its tasks in close coordination with BEE aiming to promote networking and knowledge distribution within the group as well as to foster interlinks and synergy effects between members. Additionally, through the website, we will also disseminate information such as:
- announcements of important CHP related events within India
- distribute information on CHP in general from India and abroad
- publish studies, brochures and presentations conducted by the initiative
The dialogue on the website offers a two-way communication where the members of the working group are encouraged to take the opportunity to interact through the website for questions, requests, recommendations etc. On the other side, we also may ask members to distribute information to us, in order to gather information to formulate a larger scenario for CHP in India.

What do we offer?
Within this promotional scheme, we offer the following to the CHP working group members:
- |
Preparing and publishing technical documents of general interest such as brochures, information leaflets, market overviews etc. |
- |
Preparation of studies according to actual demand |
- |
Organisation of events (Conferences and seminars) - The first CHP India conference is planned to take place in January 2008 in New Delhi |
- |
Certified appraisal of your existing or future CHP plant design. This will assist you in identifying the options for improvement and potential impacts. |
- |
Technical assistance for CHP plant investors for best practice layout on a case to case basis |
- |
Technical assistance for CHP plant operators for improvement of plant design and its operation on a case to case basis |
- |
Financing services investment in CHP plants may be offered by our partner IREDA according to the provisions of its current schemes |
- |
Benchmarking of CHP plants using the European method of primary energy savings |
- |
CHP awards in the categories “India's most efficient CHP plant” and “India's most innovative CHP plant”. |
Our initiative is backed by a host of national and international expertise. |

Benchmarking
CHP systems is a challenging task, as Primary Energy Savings (PES, will be explained next page) do also depend on applied technology and fuel type.
Additionally, the heat demand pattern and the way of operation of the CHP plant may have an influence on the PES value. However, good layout, best practice operation and well chosen technologies may counteract these issues. CHP plants shall also be classified in four categories, gold, silver, bronze and tin, as it is known already from other BEE initiatives.
After receiving sufficient feedback from CHP plant operators, we will publish aggregated performance data on quality status of CHP plants in India based on the method of PES.
As mentioned, we are planning to award two prizes within the categories: “India’s most efficient CHP plant” and “India’s most innovative CHP plant”. |
