Education: Schools, Universities, Colleges, and Campuses

Our generators for educational facilities offer world-class fuel efficiency and low life-cycle costs. Caterpillar provides generators for schools to meet your demands and to help you cut costs with cogeneration technology. We’re here to keep power production efficient so you can focus on your institution.

COGEN EDUCATIONAL FACITLITY GENERATORS REDUCE COSTS

Many schools, colleges, and universities reduce their operating costs by implementing combined heat and power (CHP) systems (also known as cogeneration). Cat gas generator sets can provide power for electrical loads and heat energy for a facility’s thermal requirements. Benefits from CHP projects include:

Especially when any of the following apply:

 

CHP POWER SYSTEMS

Caterpillar provides customized CHP system packages, including the required mechanical equipment and controls to capture and transfer the engine thermal energy to your facility. Caterpillar also offers:

NATURAL GAS STANDBY POWER SYSTEMS

There has been an increasing move toward natural gas fueled standby power systems in recent years. Typically installed with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) or paralleling switchgear control for multiple generators, these generator sets sense when a utility outage occurs and automatically starts the backup power generator system transferring power to the emergency source. When the normal grid power returns, the control system automatically switches back and shuts down the emergency generator.
