Green
Development
As well as the
design and build of Bio-Diesel sets (see below, right) we are also looking into the
development of other renewable forms of power generation. In partnership
with a fuel specialist we are developing a range of sets powered by pure
vegetable oil, virtually straight off the shelves of your local
supermarket.
The sets carry a full warrantee and are as reliable and
powerful as a standard set. To prevent sludging in the engine its self
the set is started and warmed on normal red diesel and then switches
automatically and seamlessly to the vegetable oil.
When the shutdown
signal is received the system automatically switches back to the red
diesel to purge the system.
Power Distribution
As well as
emergency power generation we can also supply and build fixed and mobile
sub stations. The sub stations are provided with the protection and
metering expected with HV/MV distribution.
We only offer transformers
and HV switches of the highest quality and as with our generators,
customer specified and built for the individual requirement. We will
take your specification and build a distribution board to suit your
output requirements in the space available to you.

CHP Generators
Combined
Heat and Power, or CHP as it is more commonly referred to, is the
simultaneous generation of usable heat and electrical power in a single
process. In other words, it utilizes the heat produced in electricity
generation rather than releasing it wastefully into the atmosphere. CHP
is also sometimes referred to as co-generation.
CHP offers
energy and environmental benefits over electric-only and thermal-only
systems in both central and distributed power generation applications.
CHP systems have the potential for a wide range of applications and
their higher efficiencies result in lower emissions than separate heat
and power generation system. The advantages of CHP broadly include the
following:
-
The
simultaneous production of useful thermal and electrical energy in
CHP systems lead to increased fuel efficiency.
-
CHP
units can be strategically located at the point of energy use. Such
onsite generation avoids the transmission and distribution losses
associated with electricity purchased via the grid from central
stations.
-
CHP is
versatile and can be coupled with existing and planned technologies
for many different applications in the industrial, commercial, and
residential sectors.
-
CHP
used in conjunction with a bio-diesel running fuel utilizes green
tax credits and government incentives for green self generation for
a faster recovery of the purchase cost.
Bio-Diesel
Bio-diesel refers to a vegetable oil based
diesel fuel consisting of long-chain
alkylmethyl
propyl
or
ethyl)
esters.
Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting
lipids
(e.g.,
vegetable oil,
palm oil, etc.) with an
alcohol.
Only Bio-diesel that is of EN14214
standard
should ever be used in Pelican products.
Biodiesel is
meant to be used in standard diesel engines and is thus distinct from
the
vegetable and waste oils
used to fuel converted diesel engines. Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with petro
diesel. Pure bio-diesel, referred to as B100 can only be used in certain
makes of engine without effecting manufacturers warranty. In this form
the largest rating available is 500kVA as a prime rated single run set.
Options for a larger output would mean paralleling sets together or
reducing the blend. At a B20 blend (20% Bio to 80% Petroleum) we can
produce up to 2,500kVA single sets.
Depending on
your location there are tax incentives, grants and subsidization
available for coming off the grid and generating green power.
