The Trend toward Compact Power Plants
2G Energy AG exploits a number of application areas for cogeneration plants with their g-box. The compact systems are tailored to be profitable small power plants, with an electrical output range from 20 to 50 kW, for use in small hotels, industrial operations, or apartment blocks. The CHP specialists from western Münster have designed the quiet turnkey module for coupling power and heat to be particularly lean. Completely assembled DIN-rails from WAGO are used for the electronics connections.
Two outputs, high thermal efficiency due to condensing boiler technology, and long runtimes with low maintenance expenses: the turnkey g-box is designed as a compact series model for the broader market. As a consequence, the CHP manufacturer 2G considered more than technological details and design tricks during development of the small power plant. Economic production in large numbers ultimately depends on designing a lean and time-saving assembly process. Therefore, 2G uses pre-assembled DIN-rails from WAGO for the electronics in the control cabinets of their CHP series.
