Automation enhancing efficiency and sustainability in combined heat and power (CHP) systems
The use of automation in combined heat and power (CHP) systems improves productivity, reliability, and flexibility in power generation. CHP systems generate electricity and thermal energy from the same fuel source simultaneously, maximizing energy utilization. Automation integrates advanced control systems, sensors, and data analysis to improve operations and decrease human intervention. For example, Siemens’ SPPA-T3000 control system for CHP plants utilizes real-time data to adjust power generation and heat distribution based on demand, ensuring high performance and minimal waste.
This automated method enhances fuel efficiency, reduces emissions, and lowers operational costs. Automated CHP systems can also quickly adapt to grid requirements, helping to maintain grid stability and support the integration of renewable energy sources. Thus, automation in CHP systems represents a notable advancement in sustainable and efficient energy generation, meeting contemporary energy demands and environmental goals.

Innovations in automation technology for CHP
Integration of IoT
CHP systems are increasingly integrating IoT devices and sensors, which provide detailed information on system performance. This data is used to streamline processes and enhance efficiency. For example, ABB’s Ability™ Smart Sensor technology converts standard equipment into smart devices, enabling better monitoring and control.

AI and machine learning
AI and ML are being used to improve the predictive abilities of CHP systems. These technologies analyze historical and real-time data to predict energy demand and optimize the operation of CHP units. According to recent research conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), AI algorithms have the potential to improve the efficiency of CHP systems by up to 15%.

Blockchain technology
Blockchain technology is being investigated for its ability to enhance transparency and security in combined heat and power (CHP) operations. It can streamline transactions and establish unbreakable records of energy generation and consumption. An experimental initiative in Brooklyn, New York, is utilizing blockchain to facilitate peer-to-peer energy trading among CHP users, thus promoting local energy resilience.

DS Smith and E.ON opened an advanced combined heat and power plant
On May 3, 2023, DS Smith and E.ON introduced an advanced combined heat and power (CHP) plant at DS Smith’s Kemsley Paper Mill in Kent. This cutting-edge facility, operational since 2022, is expected to set new benchmarks in efficiency, sustainability, and reliability. The plant is designed to reduce CO2 emissions by 36,000 tons annually, has a remarkable electrical capacity of 73MW, and can produce 830,000 tons of recycled paper per year.

DS Smith aims to achieve a 46% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 2019, with a commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. E.ON’s innovative energy solution, E.ON IQ Energy, features automated, self-controlled power plants and AI optimization to ensure energy efficiency for DS Smith’s operations. This collaboration represents a significant advancement toward decarbonizing industrial production processes across Europe.

To conclude, the integration of automation in combined heat and power systems marks a significant advancement in sustainable energy solutions. This advancement improves efficiency, reliability, and environmental responsibility, showcasing the beginning of a new era in energy generation that supports global sustainability goals and offers new opportunities for industry growth in the coming years.
