Emergency operation

CHP units can interact with the master distribution system in several basic operating models. In parallel operation, the unit is operated in parallel with the main distribution network, allowing the generation of power and heat for the local consumption while the surplus electric power can be sold to the grid. In island operation, the unit operates independently of the external grid, which is useful in the event of a power outage or in remote areas. Emergency operation ensures an uninterrupted supply of power and heat in the event of an emergency. These modes of operation bring flexibility and reliability to the power systems.
