Analysis & calculationCHP calculation and control
Whether running your combined heat and power unit pays off changes by the hour with gas, power and CO2 prices. We calculate the spark spread for your installation and, if you want, steer the CHP on that basis.
The hours worth switching on, not a fixed schedule
Below is an illustrative hourly power price against the cost to run the CHP — the read a schedule alone never gives you.
Picture a CHP that has run on the same fixed schedule for years, regardless of what power is worth that hour. The question is not whether to keep running it, but which hours actually pay.
The morning ramp clears the line
By 08:00 the price is well above the run threshold — the point at which steering fires the CHP up automatically.
The evening peak pays best
18:00 is the highest price of the day; a schedule built around heat demand alone would likely miss it.
From question to execution
- 01
We map your CHP, heat demand, buffer and grid connection.
- 02
We calculate per hour when running, buffering or buying power is the better choice.
- 03
If you wish, we translate this into an operating strategy and steer the installation through our platform.
- 04
We report what the strategy delivered against a fixed schedule.
This is what changes for you
- Running hours that follow the market instead of the clock
- Heat, power and gas weighed as one system
- Optional steering, so the calculation does not stay on paper
