January 12, 2004—DTE Energy Technologies has launched a new line of low-emission, high-efficiency, on-site energy systems using cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) engine technology.
These systems have among the lowest emissions in the distributed generation market and are capable of meeting the strict guidelines of the California Self Generation Program for 2007 emissions.
DTE Energy Technologies features CEGR technology in its new “ENE” series, which is part of the energy|now product line. These units, powered by natural gas, are equipped to provide highly reliable combined heat and power (CHP) with electrical outputs of 202 to 350 kilowatts (kW), net electrical efficiencies of more than 34 percent and total efficiencies of 89 percent. In CHP applications, waste heat provides commercial and light industrial businesses with heating, air-conditioning, domestic hot water and process-use hot and chilled water. The systems are suited ideally for providing base load power in either grid parallel or grid independent applications. All ENE units are monitored remotely using DTE Energy Technologies’ proprietary energy|now System Operations Center, which controls and monitors on-site power equipment via the Internet.
DTE Energy Technologies has an exclusive worldwide joint distribution agreement with Menag, which pioneered the use of CHP in Switzerland and Germany and has been a leading European provider of on-site energy systems, generator sets and services for 35 years. The more than 1,200 Menag energy systems in use now have supplied hundreds of thousands of hours of efficient operation in applications such as hospitals, hotels, landfill gas operations and wastewater treatment and purification plants.
