In February 2010, REPOLYGEN Group of the NEWPOLYGEN (Israel) has completed the first phase of developing its unique technology, intended for a drastic improvement in performance of the reciprocating engine-based polygeneration systems, such as the distributed generation (DG) and industrial and commercial cogeneration / trigeneration (CHP / CCHP) plants. A new REPOLYGEN technology is the result of a long-term activity of the Group’s scientists in the field of profitable use of an excess energy contained in the reciprocating engine exhaust, as well as of a high-temperature part of waste energy from the engine cooling system. It is expected that with use of the new technology the fuel efficiency of the reciprocating engine-based plants may be increased up to 50 – 51% in simple cycle and up to 55-56% in combined cycle operation modes. The REPOLYGEN technology will make possible also to increase a steam capacity of the combined heat (steam) and power plants by a factor of 1.5 – 2.5 with enhancement of their total efficiency up to 77 – 84%. Preparation to a pilot demonstration of the new technology is under way.
