What is Total efficiency of the CHP unit: What matters??

cogeneration total efficiency = (Pel + Ptherm) / Pgasenergy; typically over 85 % for biogas CHP units — only if the heat is actually utilized, is the high total efficiency real, otherwise the heat ends up in the emergency cooler.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Ratio of electrical power (Pel) to fuel consumed
  • Share of the delivered heat output (Ptherm) in the total system
  • Identification of heat surpluses that end up in the emergency cooler
  • Determination of the real efficiency for the optimisation of heat extraction
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

The scenario: ...is the CHP unit running past the heat or past the price, profitability decreases, wasted contribution margin every hour. The AI: detects the declining key figure early and suggests the operating mode that fits both price and heat. It identifies the trend before the limit value is reached.

Why this matters

An optimised total efficiency minimises specific fuel costs per generated kilowatt-hour. Precise monitoring of the heat component prevents unnecessary losses through emergency cooling. This ensures compliance with the legal requirements for cogeneration plants. electrical power (kW) · thermal power (kW) → — σ (electricity key figure) Calculation path: electrical ÷ thermal power
