The West End Community Centre (WECC) in Guelph, Ontario, uses smart CHP from 2G patruus system
The system improves energy efficiency, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and provides backup power in case of outage
Facts & figures
A great example of smart CHP is the West End Community Centre (WECC) in Guelph, Ontario. They recently installed a 2G patruus system, rated at 400kW/h. The West End Community Centre is a modern, fully accessible, multi-purpose community center that has a full range of facilities, including a large public swimming pool, an NHL sized twin-pad arena, a large gymnasium, community meeting rooms, a cafeteria, and a library that complements the facility.
The advanced 2G CHP system provides power and heating to the community center, significantly improving the building's energy efficiency, and helping to reduce Ontario's greenhouse gas emissions. In case of a power outage, the CHP system can provide standby power to the community center. The City of Guelph selected the 2G packaged system for its exceptional quality and unique design features, such as 2G optimization, high-efficiency gas engine technology, factory-designed, packaged and tested CHP module, fully integrated heat recovery system, integrated fresh and waste oil storage system, oversized, sound-attenuated enclosure module, and ease of integration with the existing building systems.
The CHP system was supplied 100% containerized and then the City of Guelph decided to construct a building around it.
