Combined Heat and Power (CHP)<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
GSS engages with private owners and developers to design, build, and operate CHP energy assets on their site, creating prosumers that connect with an energy sharing community.\u00a0 A microgeneration energy retailer connects you with the local microgrid, so buying your electricity and natural gas while exporting your excess electricity, has never been easier.<\/h5>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

HOW IT WORKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most renewable energy technologies can be somewhat intermittent (wind, solar), so using natural gas is the most constant and most reliable form of renewable energy as allowed by the current microgeneration regulation. Converting natural gas to heat and electricity not only provides the baseload energy, but it is financially advantageous and it\u2019s good for the environment as well. The excess electricity that is not consumed is sold back to the grid.<\/p>\n

HOW IT SAVES MONEY\u00a0 – THE LESS YOU USE THE MORE YOU SAVE<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Energy Center can follow your electrical demand or produce the same amount of energy every hour, so the less energy that your building uses, the more energy that can be sold back to the grid, further reducing your energy costs.\u00a0 Residential homeowners and developers can produce green electrical and thermal energy with expected monthly savings that can also provide a source of residual income.<\/p>\n

ENERGY SECURITY<\/strong><\/p>\n

The GSS Energy Center will still deliver electricity, heating and cooling to your home even if the electrical grid goes down. Businesses and the average person now have the ability to self-supply their power on-site while still remaining grid connected as a back-up and to export their surplus. This can create a more resilient energy network that is less susceptible to catastrophic natural disaster events. Community microgrids and decentralized energy networks can provide the security of uninterrupted energy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

            The Active Zone Geothermal system is used to balance the heating and cooling loads seasonally.<\/p>\n

            It absorbs all the waste heat from the CHP in summer and shoulder seasons, stores it and sends it back to the home in the winter when needed.\u00a0 The heat recovered is typically 10\u00b0C to 40\u00b0C and is used primarily for water source heat pumps.\u00a0 The TEES system can use the perimeter rings to store winter cold and is used in the summer for cooling.<\/p>\n

            The AZG borefield uses a high-performance geothermal PE-RT thermally fused polyethylene pipe that operates at -30\u00b0C to 90\u00b0C.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2265","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gssenergy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gssenergy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gssenergy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gssenergy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gssenergy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2265"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/gssenergy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2422,"href":"https:\/\/gssenergy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2265\/revisions\/2422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gssenergy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
