To ensure that all of its CHP systems maintain optimum performance at all times, Cogenco has developed an advanced, internet-based, remote monitoring, protection control and monitoring system.

This can carry out automatic 'health checks' on the system and make remote interventions to achieve maximum efficiency while monitoring the condition of components to schedule preventative maintenance. Operating data is tracked, stored and analysed to produce regular performance reports.

Local control and monitoring is via a user-friendly touch-screen computer and analogue graphical display. This Human Machine Interface or HMI has a range of display options including 'dashboard' style, pressure and temperature parameters, engine function and statistics, power parameters, event log and graph screens.
