Energy sources of energy . Implementing combined heat and power ( CHP ) or cogeneration systems for example , can reduce greenhouse gas consumption by recycling waste heat and converting it to usable electricity . It also reduces utility costs , often by as much as 50 percent . There are several concurrent benefits to a system like this , as well as reducing cost and carbon emissions it can reduce reliance on a power grid and ensure the availability of heat and electrical supply . For facilities that require thermal and electrical energy simultaneously , integrating a CHP system can reduce carbon dioxide consumption by up to 75 percent and improve energy efficiency up to 50 percent .
Improving performance
Projects that utilize the kind of engineering innovations that Stellar Energy offers can be transformative . The technologies can help drive profitability , streamline production processes to remove waste or even transform it into usable resources in the case of CHP systems . It also empowers companies and public utility providers to be at the forefront of the transition towards more sustainable and renewable energy solutions .
Turbine inlet air chilling ( TIAC ) is another highly effective innovation that can have dramatic impacts for power producers . It can increase a gas turbine ’ s power output by up to 35 percent , often at a third of the cost of a new turbine and half that of a new peaking plant . When integrated with thermal energy storage ( TES ) it can also support much better operational flexibility and efficiency . This maximizes the existing asset , reduces emissions , and improves the performance and life cycle cost of a power plant .
Stellar Energy has a proven track record when it comes to implementing these innovative technologies in unique and demanding applications . On the famous Palm Jumeirah Island in Dubai , it installed a district cooling system to provide air
