Solar
Use available site area to generate power during daylight hours.
Design consideration: Output varies with sunlight, site conditions, and the load profile.
GENERATION & STORAGE
Choose for the operating profile.
Different technologies address different operating needs. A site-specific configuration considers the power profile, available resources, grid relationship, practical constraints, and commercial context.
Cogeneration
Coordinate electrical generation with useful thermal requirements.
Design consideration: Fit depends on the facility’s heat demand, operating schedule, and fuel context.
Biogas & biomethane
Consider renewable gas pathways linked to suitable organic feedstocks.
Design consideration: Feedstock quality, processing, logistics, and pipeline access shape project feasibility.
Natural gas
Provide dispatchable generation as one potential part of a hybrid supply design.
Design consideration: Fuel availability, cost, emissions, and system role must be evaluated for each project.
Energy storage
Shift some generated energy toward periods when it is more useful.
Design consideration: The right option depends on duration, duty cycle, economics, and the application.
SYSTEM DESIGN
Let each component solve the part it is suited to.
Solar generation can contribute when daylight is available; dispatchable generation can address other parts of the operating profile; storage can shift energy in time; and the grid or supply arrangements remain part of the system boundary. The combination is assessed project by project.
