WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Tecogen® Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN) is pleased to
announce the launch of its latest groundbreaking innovation in
intelligent grid-connective design.
"The new InVerde® e+ is a real testament to Tecogen's
devotion to continuous product improvement," said Robert Panora
Tecogen's President and Chief Operating Officer. "This product
builds on the success of our first generation inverter product and
reinforces our goal to be at the forefront of the industry,
providing our customers with the most advanced clean energy
technologies available in the marketplace."
The new INV-100e+ builds on patented inverter technology to
provide:
- Best in class CHP electrical efficiency of 34%.
- Patented engine control technology for improved stability and
load turndown, permitting the load on the equipment to be turned
down to just 10% (generating just 10kW of electrical output), thus
allowing customers the flexibility to operate their equipment in a
wider load range while maintaining high efficiency.
- DC input option, facilitating battery or solar array
integration.
- Superior 10 second rapid start after blackout.
- Requires just 4 inches of water column gas pressure,
eliminating the need for costly pressure enhancement
equipment.
- Customized power electronics technology and integrated
Microgrid hardware allow for simplified installation.
- An updated microprocessor control system with integrated
balance of plant control capability
- Quieter operation for noise pollution reduction.
- Touchscreen interactive control panels for ease of operation,
monitoring, and service.
The efficiency boost resulting from cutting edge inverter
technology, innovative power control, and a new and improved
engine, will result in enhanced energy savings superior to all
other comparable combined heat and power (CHP) products on the
market today. The battery input capability is also a major
addition to the product's technology, allowing for seamless
transfer during an outage, improved Microgrid efficiency, engine
service redundancy, and easy integration of Tecogen's CHP
technology with renewable energy installations. Along with battery
connectivity, solar PV arrays may now directly connect to the unit,
providing power conditioning for the array and eliminating the need
for an additional solar inverter.
The InVerde e+ now meets the fast 10 second blackstart
requirement for Type 10 Emergency Power Supply Systems (EPSS) as
per NFPA 110. Also, unlike other CHP equipment, the e+
requires just four inches of water column gas pressure. This
capability eliminates the need for installation of other pressure
enhancement equipment, allowing units fitted with the e+ inverter
to connect to virtually any standard gas pipe without modification
of the gas supply line.
Available for Spring 2016 on the InVerde® line of
combined heat and power modules, the INV-100e+ has obtained both
UL2200 and UL 1741 certifications, meeting the highest safety
standards for engine generator assemblies and inverters. With
faster production lead times and longer service intervals,
Tecogen's new InVerde e+ is a natural fit for building managers
looking for a hassle-free, economic, and environmentally friendly
solution to their heating and power needs. For a free site
