CHPSpecialists in CHP Energy Savings Solutions
It is critical you choose a CHP Partner who can deliver a complete solution – from initial feasibility
analysis, design and planning through to installation, commissioning, and life-long service and
maintenance. PSE Power has extensive experience with CHP systems across all sectors.
We are the exclusive channel partners in Ireland for R Schmitt Enertec and AB Cogeneration.
What is CHP?
Combined Heat and Power or CHP, is the simultaneous production of both heat and electricity – from one fuel source, generally natural gas. A CHP system recovers the heat normally lost in electricity generation for use in heating, dehumidification and other processes even including cooling.
In other words, it utilises the heat produced in electricity generation rather than releasing it wastefully into the atmosphere. CHP delivers remarkable efficiency, significant cost savings and environmental benefits.
As a form of energy, electricity is more expensive to generate than heat. In a typical CHP installation, the emphasis is on producing electricity at a lower cost to displace some or all of the more expensive power that would otherwise be bought from the electricity grid.
At the same time, the heat produced from the plant is used to replace heat provided from a conventional boiler.
CHP systems can provide energy savings of 20% – 25%, and in some cases up to 35%.
Direct Benefits
✔ Immediate significant energy savings
✔ Eliminate risk associated with rising electricity prices
✔ High overall efficiency
✔ Environmentally beneficial with low emission power

single phase up to 2000kVA three phase are available.
Long-term generator rental
For customers with long-term or semi-permanent prime power or standby power needs, we’ll carry out
a full site survey to make sure you choose the generator best suited to your needs. We’ll also advise
you on and supply AMF control panels, fuel systems and bunded fuel tanks, distribution cabling and
any accessories you need.
Load Bank Hire
Load banks are primarily used for testing the electrical power output on diesel generators, turbines and UPS systems and also carrying out commissioning and maintenance work. Load banks simulate real electrical loads enabling essential setup and commissioning which ensures that all electrical and control parameters are met prior to power generation/back up equipment being energised on line.

FrequencyofPowerQualityProblems
A typical server system can have more than 125 potentially destructive events per month*. Approximately 88% of these events are due to surges & transient issues.
Electrical power distribution is subject to mains distortion of varying periods and intensity. Today’s power protection solutions need to provide protection from a wide variety of power quality problems, not just blackouts. Many critical loads will only function correctly if supplied with a high quality power supply. Power quality problems can seriously reduce the working life of your equipment, systems and technology.
