The Midwest CHP Application Center promotes the development and deployment of integrated systems that provide on-site electrical generation and utilize the heat from the generation equipment to provide cooling and/or heating for the building.
The Center serves to identify and promote the use of viable CHP technologies and systems in applications where they can increase energy efficiencies, reduce operating costs, reduce electrical loads on the utility electrical grid in areas where it is taxed, and shave peak load demands from the grid. The Application Center will serve to bring together manufacturers, utilities, building operators, research and development organizations, industry associations, energy service companies, architects and engineers, and national laboratory personnel to promote on-site and near site power generation, energy recovery, and energy management and utilization for commercial, institutional, multifamily and community based buildings.
The Midwest CHP Application Center provides the following services:
has been established to expedite the successful deployment of viable CHP technologies by providing:
- Forum for coordination, interaction, sharing, and transferring of activities and knowledge among the states in the region.
- Grow technical capabilities within the Midwest states by providing training and consultation for the stakeholders within the states
- Full spectrum targeted education modules (workshops, seminars, accredited short courses, conferences)
- Website / Information Clearinghouse -- a central repository of technical information for the states and their stakeholders (partners)
