Cogeneration Trigeneration in Hospitals

Installation of a cogeneration plant at a hospital is an excellent way to reduce the carbon emissions and increase the energy efficiency. When used, it provides an effective use of financial resources of hospitals. Natural gas is a relatively clean fuel with low emissions compared to its alternatives. A natural gas-fired cogeneration plant, on the other hand, supports the highly efficient use of this fuel by obtaining power and heat from a single source at the same time. If the hospital needs cooling, trigeneration technology also offers a source of cold water for cooling or air conditioning.

A hospital that does not have a cogeneration plant supplies its energy needs for both electricity and heating at high costs. When a gas-powered cogeneration plant is built, the hospital's electricity needs are met while simultaneously heating needs are met.

In the trigeneration system, the heat source is used to obtain cold water via an absorption chiller. In this way, the electricity and cooling needs of hospitals are provided from a single source.

Gas powered cogeneration/trigeneration plants are systems with high energy conversion efficiency (90%). This provides long-term operational cost savings for the hospital.
A gas-powered cogeneration/trigeneration plant provides hospitals with uninterrupted energy, while simultaneously meeting their heating and cooling needs.

Advantages of Cogeneration/ Trigeneration Systems for Hospitals

• It creates financial advantages compared to purchasing electricity and heating needs separately.
• It contributes to the protection of the environment with reduced carbon emissions.
• It is a flexible technology used to provide electricity, heating and cooling.
