Cogeneration Plant Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs and builds cogeneration plant producing heat and power, extended to trigeneration with absorption chilling where cooling is also needed, within plantrooms.
Cogeneration Plant Belfast reflects BSH Limited's combined heat and power capability. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems as required, and a cogeneration plant is the core of that integrated approach.
Cogeneration produces electricity and useful heat from the same fuel, capturing the heat that would otherwise be wasted. BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems, reflecting its depth across cogeneration and its extension to cooling.
BSH holds the accolade for the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012, designed and built for Tesco in Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland, demonstrating cogeneration plant delivered at scale within a combination fuelled system.
Heat and power from one fuel
A cogeneration plant generates electricity and captures the heat produced for productive use, improving overall efficiency compared with generating electricity and heat separately. BSH designs cogeneration as part of combination fuelled systems, so the plant's output is coordinated with the building's heating, cooling and controls.
Extension to trigeneration
Where cooling is also needed, cogeneration extends to trigeneration by using recovered heat to drive absorption chilling. BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems, and BSH has received awards for absorption chilling designs demonstrated to reduce customers' carbon emissions.
Delivered at scale
BSH holds the accolade for the largest trigeneration plant room in Europe in 2012, designed and built for Tesco in Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland. The largest plug and power plantroom in terms of power is 1.4Mw thermal, manufactured for a local council in Scotland, demonstrating cogeneration plant delivered at scale through pre-packaged plantrooms.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
Buildings that buy electricity and generate heat separately waste the heat released during power generation. A cogeneration plant only delivers its benefit when it is sized to the building's simultaneous heat and power profile and integrated with the wider services — otherwise it short-cycles, exports power uneconomically, or displaces heat rather than recovering it.
Reaction
An oversized or poorly integrated cogeneration plant fails to deliver the expected savings and can conflict with the building's heating and cooling controls. Facilities managers and consultants need a specialist with proven cogeneration and trigeneration experience at scale.
Solution
BSH designs and builds cogeneration plant producing heat and power, extended to trigeneration where cooling is also needed, within combination fuelled plantrooms. Because the right plant depends on your load profile, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your cogeneration plant project.
