What Is Chp-Pnp?

Pre-engineered/pre-packaged, modular,
. . . Combined-Heat-and-Power (CHP) products as a,
. . . Plug-aNd-Play (PNP) appliance.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA)
. . . has worked to advance innovative energy solutions,
. . . in ways that improve New York’s economy and environment,
. . . by developing a comprehensive program,
. . . that offers a catalog of pre-approved makes and models,
. . . of pre-engineered modular CHP units, and
. . . by identifying a single party (the module vendor),
. . . as the go-to entity for the resolution of all issues pertaining to the purchase,
. . . installation, maintenance, and performance of each system installed,
. . . (with Program assistance), the CHP Acceleration Program could serve,
. . . as a model for multi-state standardization,
. . . which could be a real game-changer for the CHP marketplace.

Specifically, all supported CHP systems must have the ability:
. . . to run in parallel with the utility grid to save energy,
. . . . . . reduce energy costs on an everyday basis, and
. . . must also have the ability to run independently during a grid outage,
. . . . . . to provide resilient power to priority loads at the site.  
Additional financial support is offered for CHP systems,
. . . installed to support critical infrastructure,
. . . . . . such as facilities of refuge,
. . . . . . or those that provide emergency services.
