What are Integrated Energy Systems?

An Integrated Energy System, or "IES" integrates distributed generation (DE) with thermally-activated power and energy technologies for heating and cooling. 

Integrated Energy Systems are more commonly referred to as "Trigeneration" plants and also commonly referred to as: 

• Cooling, Heating and Power

• CHP Systems

• Cooling Heating Power 

• Combined Heat And Power

• Cogeneration plus Absorption Chillers - or - ADsorption Chillers

• District Energy Systems

• Distributed Generation

• Dispersed Generation

Integrated Energy Systems are also at the center of every District Energy System.  

District Energy Systems, Integrated Energy Systems, or Trigeneration plants, no matter how they are referred, achieve overall, net system energy efficiencies of 80% plus, and several Trigeneration plants are nearing 90% efficiencies nearing almost 300% increased efficiency over power provided by electric utilities and their central power plants"!  This means significantly lowered: 

• energy costs

• fuel costs

• greenhouse gas emissions

Integrated Energy Systems achieve these greater energy efficiencies through the conversion of exhaust or reject heat from power generation into needed energy services like cooling and heating of buildings as well as campuses. This is called "Waste Heat Recovery" or "Recycled Energy."  Development of "packaged" or "modularized" Integrated Energy Systems for end-use applications, such as commercial and institutional buildings, is something the founder of our company has been involved with since the mid 1980's.

In the past, Cogeneration plants have been economically attractive only in sizes above several megawatts. The emergence of a number of small generation technologies, including fuel cells, advanced low emissions engines, and gas turbines with outputs in the 1000 kW - 5000 kW range, should extend the benefits of Integrated Energy Systems to a much larger user base, with a consequent increase in national energy and environmental benefits. 

For example, the application of Integrated Energy Systems (including Absorption Chillers - or - ADsorption Chillers) in commercial buildings could reduce commercial building energy consumption by 30%. 

Application of such smaller-scale packaged CHP Systems provides a major breakthrough in energy efficiency technology, energy savings as well as reduced greenhouse gas emissions. And, by locating the power generation at or near the end-user/consumer, i.e. their facility, building, or campus, the difficulties in siting and building new electric transmission and electric distribution infrastructures to meet today's increasing power demand are minimized.

The most promising markets for Trigeneration plants, District Energy Systems or Integrated Energy Systems are commercial or institutional buildings, government facilities, and district energy systems that distribute thermal energy to buildings in a college campus, hospital complex, industrial park, food processing operations, refrigerated warehouses, and also very attractive for cities.

What is Energy Resource Planning?

The purpose of Energy Resource Planning (ERP)seeks to utilize and integrate the requisite analytical concepts and tools necessary to approach the problems of planning for an adequate energy supply and demand balance at the local, regional and national levels.  With a greater focus on reducing and eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, there is an increasing emphasis on "Carbon Free Energy" and "Pollution Free Power."  Renewable energy resources and renewable energy technologies are viewed as the preferred path forward for providing for energy supply and demand in conjunction with Demand Side Management.
