By first fulfilling the thermal demand of a boiler, the Power Burner 100 can achieve the most cost-effective generation of power for gas-fired DG. This principle is core to the benefit of Leveraged Power. The Power Burner 100 follows the thermal load of the boiler with up to a 10:1 turndown ratio while maintaining maximum power output (100 kWe). The result… a quick payback, modular, low-emission’s approach to DG/CHP.

With Leveraged Power, businesses will cogenerate electricity at a 90% fuel-to-power efficiency (3812 BTUs/kWh). The Power Burner 100 recovers wasted energy associated with today's boilers to cogenerate 100 kWe. It turns boilers into generators of more efficient and cleaner heat and power at the lowest possible cost. The net fuel cost of electricity is typically $0.02/kWh at today’s gas prices and the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) ranges from $0.05/kWh to $0.07/kWh.

With Leveraged Power, businesses are able to “spread out” their on-site power generation across all their boilers. This modular approach is much different than past DG/CHP installations that typically concentrated all their power generation into once piece of equipment. With many Power Burner 100s at one site, you’re able to shave off a significant percentage of your base electricity load, but have the flexibility to modulate your power generation, lower the risk of a single equipment failure knocking out your onsite generator, and potentially curtail high standby rates.
