Hybrid Power Generation Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited designs hybrid power generation systems that combine on-site generation, grid supply and controls within combination fuelled plantrooms, including CHP and future-fuel generation.
Hybrid Power Generation Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's approach to combining more than one source of power for a building. BSH designs combination fuelled systems that include heating, cooling, combined heat and power, domestic and control systems, and hybrid power generation is the coordination of on-site generation with the grid supply so the building draws from both as the loads and the generation vary.
A hybrid power generation system might combine a CHP unit with the grid supply, or on-site generation with a future-fuel element such as hydrogen, so the building is not dependent on a single source. BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems and bespoke electrolyser power systems, reflecting the range of generation that can sit within a hybrid arrangement.
Where the generation is part of a wider energy project, the hybrid system is integrated with the site's electrical supplies and the heating, cooling and controls, so the power generation sits within a combination fuelled system rather than as a standalone generator.
On-site generation coordinated with the grid
A hybrid power generation system combines on-site generation with the grid supply so the building draws from both as the loads and the generation vary. BSH sizes the on-site generation against the building's demand rather than as a standalone generator, so the generation runs usefully loaded and the grid supply covers the rest — which is what makes the hybrid arrangement efficient rather than just complex.
Future-fuel generation within the hybrid
A hybrid system can include a future-fuel element such as hydrogen alongside conventional generation. BSH's consultancy specialisms include fuel cell, co- and trigeneration systems and bespoke electrolyser power systems, so the generation that sits within a hybrid arrangement can extend to future fuels rather than being limited to conventional CHP.
Integrated with heating, cooling and controls
Where the generation is part of a combination fuelled system, the hybrid power generation is integrated with the heating, cooling and controls. Combined heat and power captures the heat produced during generation for heating, hot water or process loads, so the hybrid system supplies both power and heat rather than power alone.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
A building with on-site generation that connects without reference to the grid supply, or generation sized for electrical output alone without a use for the recovered heat, ends up with a generator that runs part-loaded or vents the heat it captures. Where the generation is split from the heating, cooling and controls, the hybrid arrangement never comes together as a system.
Reaction
Uncoordinated hybrid generation raises running cost, wastes recovered heat, and can leave a building with a generator that runs inefficiently because it was not sized against the real loads. Consultants and facilities managers need an engineering partner who designs the generation within the wider combination fuelled system.
Solution
BSH designs hybrid power generation systems that combine on-site generation, grid supply and controls within combination fuelled plantrooms, including CHP and future-fuel generation. Because the right hybrid arrangement depends on your loads, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your hybrid power generation systems project.
