ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION

“Alternative Energy”, “Renewable Energy”, “Green “Energy”. What does it all mean?

There are many developing and emerging technologies which have resulted in a host of fine products. However, many of these products are only useful if combined with other products. At Coffman Electrical Equipment we have dedicated ourselves to understanding these technologies and, more importantly, how they fit together to accomplish various projects.

Whether it be Wind, Solar, Bio-Gas Digesters, Waste Heat Cooling or several other marvelous technologies, we have a strong knowledge of how they work together to accomplish quality and savings in energy production.

Coffman also advises on any available funding opportunities such as grants, utility programs and tax incentives that apply to these integrated systems.

The Mobile Micro Grid Research and Development Project was designed and developed under a Military R&D Contract with TARDEC (US Army) for the development of a Mobile Micro Grid as center point for future Micro Grid deployment.

These 250 and 500 kW systems have been designed to accept up to 6 different power sources concurrently and provide a common high quality electrical output.

The power sources can be any common DC or AC voltage throughout the world and can also be wind, solar, and other renewable energy systems for any critical or non critical power solution.

The Micro Grids are designed to run individually, in parallel with other units or with an electrical grid while providing this power at data center grade quality.

A family of Micro Grids has also been designed to be scalable into any size application.

Coffman is currently working on multiple variations of the design while at the same time developing these systems for commercial use for the integration of renewable energy systems into green data centers and emergency operations.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING

  • We offer a large variety of products to the Government under GSA contract #GS-07F-6044P.

  • Supply emergency power equipment to hundreds of governmental agencies worldwide.

  • Design and build specialty systems for such groups as SPAWAR, TARDEC, and U.S. Navy.

  • Provide products and services to government suppliers nationwide such as Lockheed Martin, SAIC, L3 Communications and others.

  • We are a Small Business supplier.

COMPLETED PROJECTS

This project is the first integration of a pre-certified Class A semi-batch digester with power production. Designed by Coffman and Hesco Sustainable Energy, it is an integrated system where the complete digester and generation are provided as one product. This integrated design includes controls and heat recovery.
Two Kawasaki 3.6 MW standby turbines at a data center in Michigan. These units are designed to run on both diesel and natural gas with full startup in 40 seconds. These are the first Kawasaki standby turbines in a data center in the U.S.

STEADYPOWER INITIATIVES

GREEN DATA CENTERS

At Coffman we are involved with several partners in the design of green data centers utilizing wind, solar, high efficiency cooling, and cogeneration/waste heat cooling. This integration can result in energy savings of 25% – 50%.

MUNICIPAL AND SCHOOL SYSTEMS

We are also working with the EverGREEN Schools national sustainable school initiative program. This initiative develops integrated renewable energy and energy efficient systems combined with educational programs for both schools and municipalities. These power generation and waste management to energy systems include all of our technologies, and are being designed in a modular format that can be scaled to the needs of any municipality or school system.
