CHP Template
Reduces engineering effort by up to 80 %.
We deliver a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Template specially tailored to the developers and manufacturers of CHP units.
The CHP Template offers solutions for the tasks most frequently required to operate a CHP unit. This includes all the relevant functions for dynamic and static grid support according to the VDE-AR-N 4105:2018 Low-Voltage Directive and the VDE-AR-N 4110 Medium-Voltage Directive. The CHP Template saves up to 80 % in engineering time and costs.

Implement new requirements quickly
CHP unit manufacturers often need to implement new requirements, either by choice or through regulation. These can include, for example, the creation of virtual power stations or the implementation of grid connection in accordance with directives. Such tasks require a controller with more freedom than the compact PLCs often found in CHP units, and conversion efforts can be considerable. Bachmann has designed the CHP Template to reduce these efforts.
Integrate directly with certified Bachmann hardware
As well as tasks related to every aspect of grid connection, such as generator and grid monitoring, grid measurement and synchronization, typical close-loop control tasks are also solved. Speed, power, phase frequency and voltage regulation as well as the regulation of the mixture or engine cooling circuit are included. The template, provided as a ready-to-use Codesys project in Structured Text, offers an extensive range of functions. The CHP Template provides these and other functions as preprogrammed modules. The GSP274 hardware, part of the CHP Template, also meets the requirements of VDE-AR-N 4105:2018 and VDE-AR-N 4110 for generating plants on the low-voltage and medium voltage grid. Compliance is verified with the appropriate certificates.
Know-how is protected
Each function can be modified or extended by the programmer as required. Development tools remain with the CHP unit manufacturer and are not required for operation, whilst access to operating parameters and status displays can be controlled with an access rights system. The CHP Template therefore provides a highly effective basis for the engineering of a combined heat and power unit. However, it also provides the freedom to implement manufacturerspecific extensions, whereby expertise is protected at all times.
Web visualization
A web visualization is also provided for efficient testing and commissioning. Visualization of the CHP unit can be adapted to customer requirements, enabling the CHP unit manufacturer to offer a unique product both graphically and functionally.
