The Glass CHP · CHP

Efficiency: electrical vs. thermal?

Ventilation/dehumidification — the silent 24/7 load, with heat recovery. Part of the glass family — like our glass BESS, biogas plant and CHP.

What is Efficiency: electrical vs. thermal??

Electrical efficiency: typically 38–43 %; thermal: 40–45 %; total efficiency over 85 % — calculated from Pel / (Gas consumption × Hu_CH4 × CH4-share), where Hu_CH4 = 9.97 kWh/m³.

What the AI reads from these values

What the AI reads
  • Tracks the electricity key figure and the full-load hours.
  • Recognises a declining key figure as poorer utilization of heat or electricity.
  • Links the operating mode with price and heat demand.
  • Shows where the lever lies in the operating mode, not in the technology.
Scenario

Monitored: continuous

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

Why this matters

Optimised operating mode = higher electricity key figure = more contribution margin. The lever lies in the operating mode, not in the technology — a sensor connected to the AI via our databases recalculates the best operating plan every hour. electrical power (kW) · thermal power (kW) → — σ (electricity key figure) Calculation path: electrical ÷ thermal power
