Accelerators
back to Resources Main PageStandardized, packaged CHP systems can overcome numerous barriers to CHP installations in industrial, commercial, institutional, multifamily, and government and military applications by reducing design errors, limiting uncertainty about projected performance, shortening project install time, streamlining permitting, and reducing the overall cost. DOE established the Packaged CHP Accelerator to validate project performance, cost, and installation time of CHP packages across a variety of applications. Accelerator efforts documented reductions in installed cost and installation times of more than 20% for packaged CHP systems compared with custom-engineered systems.

The CHP for Resiliency Accelerator worked to support and expand the consideration of CHP solutions to keep critical infrastructure operational every day and night regardless of external events. As a collaborative effort with states, communities, utilities, and other stakeholders, Partners examined the perceptions of CHP among resiliency planners, identified gaps in current technologies or information relative to resiliency needs, and developed plans for communities to capitalize on CHP’s strengths as a reliable, high-efficiency, lower-emissions electricity and heating/cooling source for critical infrastructure.
