AVUS 1000 Plus 1 MW combined heat and power plant for a shopping centre

Solution

The project was implemented using the AVUS 1000 Plus (2G) cogeneration unit, which runs on natural gas and generates both electricity and heat simultaneously.

This solution enables the facility to:

• to cover their own electricity consumption;
• at the same time, generate heat for internal use;
• monitor energy consumption and costs;
• reduce dependence on external factors affecting energy supply.

Separately, within the facility’s overall energy model, part of the load is offset by solar generation, creating a hybrid distributed generation model (cogeneration + solar power plant).

The project was carried out within a tight timeframe, requiring close coordination between all parties involved and adherence to the equipment manufacturer’s standards. During the preparation phase, the team aligned the 2G technical specifications with the actual site conditions, thereby avoiding the need for modifications during installation. The installation was carried out in accordance with the project documentation, taking into account the specific features of the existing shopping centre, without disrupting its day-to-day operations. Commissioning work was carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, drawing on the expertise of Pro-Energy as the official representative of 2G in Ukraine. This ensured a smooth start-up, stable operation of the equipment, and compliance with the specified parameters.
