The muscularity transition is in full swing . More and more electricity is give from sustainable sources . A good development that is also accompany by an gain in fluctuations on the grid and thus with more uncertainty about the supply of electricity . Just add the ever increasing electricity price to this and it shortly becomes clear that in the current market the role of the CHP is far from over . Generating electricity yourself is again becoming even more sympathetic . Dennis van Leeuwen of MAN Rollo , supplier of diesel and gas pedal engines : " Nobody knows exactly what the position of the energy transition in ten geezerhood time will look like . Until then , investing in a CHP is beneficial , because in many eccentric within three to four years you have already earned your investment back and then you will still benefit from it for years . “The nursery horticulture sector is currently qualify by scaling up and the increase ontogeny of individual company . Nevertheless , there are still very many society of small size that need more and more electrical energy as a final result of modern refinement developments . It is precisely for these companies , with an electrical energy need of up to 1 megawatt , that Dennis interpret opportunities . " Many little companies now fall between two stools . They do need electrical energy , but do not opt for a flue gas purifier from a price point of view . With a CHP up to 1 megawatt , such a flue natural gas purifier is not necessary , because the current pocket-sized CHPs nowadays abide by with the exacting emanation requirements even without such a twist . In the past times , these types of installation were a no - go because they were not as effective as a magnanimous CHP , but that is now a thing of the past . "

Own emergency force supply and favourable earnings modelWith an own CHP , growers can generate electrical energy themselves , stool them no longer dependent on the supplying of electricity from the grid . Certainly in view of development in Belgium , where there is fear of a pitch blackness - out whereby the power on the grid is disrupted , it is important to be able-bodied to guarantee a in effect climate for the crop . And because many European electricity grid are now connected , the neighboring state will also notice some result of this . " cultivator with a CHP have their own emergency index supply . "

But an own CHP does not necessarily mean that agriculturist can no longer take electricity off the power system . " It is rather the case that growers can select themselves . If the gridiron power is cheap , storage-battery grid electrical energy can still be favorable , if the prices are high , delivery to the power grid will ease up an interesting earning exemplar . At times when the CHP is not needed , it can cater back and stabilize the power grid . This is very interesting for Tennet in connexion with the fast up and down shift . But recently , equilibrise on frequency is also possible . Suppose a raiser is go a CHP of 1 megawatt at full world power , but requires only 90 percent of that great power . With this , the grower generates his basic lode and , for representative , 10 per cent of adjustable power is allow for over . This allows a grower to sell his frequency control ( R1 ) at an even more likeable toll . "

Stimulation of CHPs pure necessityBy the way , not only smaller companies can benefit from CHPs with a lower capacity . Also the combination of several little initiation or else of one with child one has advantages ( redundancy and efficiency retention in partial loading ) . " Smaller installations are also used in the self-propelling and marine industries . As a solvent , the leverage toll are lower and also the upkeep is bum . The part are more pronto available and the grower is not dependent on just one provider . "

MAN Rollo , part of the Pon Group , is alive in nine European countries . " The Netherlands is dumbly populated with CHPs , so in term of content , we should be able to do very well . It is mainly about setting off the curtly - live on dips , the ripples between the quarter . The situation is particularly serious in Belgium , where stimulating of CHPs is now really a requisite " , Dennis concludes .
