Aylesbury Powers-up!

Holiday Inn Aylesbury’s two 50kW G-GEN™ combined heat and power engines have successfully been installed, tested, commissioned and powered up!

Since the two engines have fired up, this busy hotel has been benefiting from significantly lowered carbon emissions and a drastic reduction in operational overheads.

The chart below demonstrates the hotel’s grid electricity profile in dark grey and the impact the two engines have had following the testing and commissioning stages. The two engines are now running optimally delivering an impressive 100kWhs of power and 240kWhs of heat every hour.

 

The G-GEN™ CHP engines generate electricity which will replace the hotels’ baseload that would otherwise have come from the mains grid. Additionally, the heat produced by the CHP engine (a by-product of the generation process) will feed directly into the Hotel’s LTHW system.
