Innovate UK - Hybrid CHP
ALP's hybrid Li-ion storage technology and other micro-CHP innovations overcome the existing challenges of energy conversion of biomass. Our system's ability to produce storable renewable energy in a clean, reliable and efficient manner using biomass alone allows communities to source, transport and consume their own energy at a local and decentralized level. We embrace the circular economy principle and practice resource efficient engineering.
The main design features and innovations in:
Li-ion Battery System - energy storage
MTCC Reactor - conversions of biomass to clean gas (hydrogen, CO and methane)
Gas Cleaning System - maintain consistent level of gas cleanliness for energy generation
Particle Separation - high performance solid to gas separation
Automation Control - industrial control and advance communication system
How it works!
ENplus certified wood pellet is used as fuel
Wood pellet is converted to combustible gas in reactor
Internal combustion engine uses gas (hydrogen, CO and methane) to power electric generator
Heat recaptured from CHP to provide heating for building
Off-Grid Application
24/7 Off-Grid Power. Li-ion battery provide primary electricity source to building
No Waste and Electric Efficiency. No supply and demand timing mismatch
Resource Efficiency. Energy storage is charged by generator using pellets only when power is low
Compatibility. Solar and wind power can be easily added as auxiliary renewable power sources
On-Grid Application
Generate £ by supplying renewable energy to grid 24/7
Provide low cost heating
Emergency backup power
Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) or parallel power supply for critical industrial or household devices
