Renewable electricity
With its global approach to the fight against climate change, Orygeen has developed real expertise in developing the production and use of renewable electricity on industrial sites, logistics platforms and tertiary sites.
Two types of renewable electricity
We offer tailor-made solutions, designed on the basis of the site’s consumption, available resources and possible production solutions.
Self-consumption of electricity means that the company directly consumes the electricity it produces on its own site from a solar photovoltaic or cogeneration plant.
Photovoltaic electricity
As on-site photovoltaic electricity production is now competitive with the price of electricity purchased from the grid, the main challenge for companies is to have available space on which it is technically possible to install the production plant.
Three types of space can be used to support photovoltaic panels :
- Roofs, provided that the structure can support the weight of the photovoltaic equipment and that the roofing system is suitable,
- car park shades, which provide a service appreciated by customers, partners and employees but which involve an additional cost linked to the supporting structure,
- ground level, which is the most cost-effective solution but is often discarded because it is difficult, if not impossible, for companies to make a long-term commitment to their unused floor space. With the ECCO solution, we produce green electricity on your site by installing a demountable production plant for an incompressible period of commitment of 3 to 5 years, at a price competitive with grid electricity.
Cogeneration
Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat from a single installation and a single primary energy source such as natural gas, biogas or biomass. Gas cogeneration is in the majority, although biomass cogeneration is increasingly used.
The cogeneration installation generates electricity via an engine or via a boiler coupled to a turbine. In all cases, the heat generated is used to produce steam or hot water for on-site consumption.
When the heat is reused to also produce cold through an adsorption machine, it is called trigeneration.
Although cogeneration only makes economic sense when the heat is used on or near the site, few projects have so far found it profitable to use the electricity produced for their own purposes. Most installations use a financing mechanism associated with the injection of electricity into the grid.
Historically, it is the large cogeneration plants of a few megawatts to a few dozen megawatts that have developed. The new small cogeneration units of a few hundred kilowatts to 1 megawatt are still little known, but they are suitable for many sites.
