CHP SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROL SYSTEMS

POWER YOU CAN TRUST

WBPS provide comprehensive combined heat and power switchgear and control systems installation and support.

OUR CHP SWITCHGEAR & CONTROL SYSTEMS

Combined Heat and Power, or CHP, is a process of generating electricity and using the resulting heat to produce steam or hot water. CHP systems are typically more efficient than conventional power plants because they make use of waste heat that would otherwise be released into the environment. Like most generator systems, CHP installations require switchgear and control systems to ensure they are providing power when and where it is needed. WBPS are proud to have been working with CHP for many years, and have the experience and knowledge needed to design, install, commission, service, maintain and repair CHP switchgear systems.

SWITCHGEAR & CONTROL SYSTEMS

Switchgears are used to control and protect generators. They are used to increase the safety of generators by preventing electrical hazards. They are also used to improve the efficiency of power generation by automatically controlling the generator’s output. Switchgear can be manually or automatically operated. Automatic generator switchgear is typically used in power plants and other industrial applications where a generator is constantly running. Switchgear for CHP systems is a speciality service from WBPS. As a family business, started in 1983, WBPS have been working in the UK’s CHP marketplace for over 35 years. We’ve gained an unrivalled level of experience and on-the-ground knowledge of how CHP systems are built and installed, and how these energy-efficient systems can be controlled.
