Co-Generation Power Systems
Combined heat & power, engineered for uptime
SDP is a leading service provider for co-generation, prime power, emergency backup and water-production plants. With 30+ years of field expertise we commission, stabilize and maintain reliable CHP systems - from inspections to complete unit overhauls.
What is co-generation?
One fuel source. Power and heat. Far less waste.
Co-generation - also called Combined Heat and Power (CHP) - captures the thermal energy normally lost in electricity generation and puts it to work as process heat, hot water or steam. The result is dramatically higher fuel efficiency and lower operating cost.

Why CHP
The benefits of combined heat and power
Significant energy cost savings
Generate electricity and useful heat on-site from a single fuel source - dramatically improving fuel utilization vs. separate grid power and boiler heat.
Reduced carbon emissions
Higher overall fuel efficiency, lower transmission losses and compatibility with lower-carbon and renewable gases shrink your facility's footprint.
Grid-independent reliability
CHP plants operate independently of the utility, supporting continuity of operations during outages, PSPS events and grid instability.
Flexible system integration
Sized and tuned to match your heat and power demand profile, with room to evolve as your low-carbon energy strategy develops.
The Economics
A measurable financial advantage
CHP offers significant financial advantages for industrial, commercial and institutional users - improving the bottom line while reducing risk from volatile energy markets.
How SDP supports cogeneration plants
We get plants running correctly - and keep them there
SDP helps facilities commission, stabilize and maintain reliable cogeneration systems with a focus on performance improvement and long-term operation.
Commissioning & performance validation
Controls, synchronization, protection settings, voltage regulation and load response verified before turnover - so the plant runs safely and predictably from day one.
System optimization & efficiency
We fine-tune aging cogeneration plants - recovering lost efficiency from controls drift, fouled exchangers and worn engine components.
Consulting & engineering guidance
Field-driven recommendations on controls upgrades, protection strategies, troubleshooting and long-term reliability planning.
Ongoing maintenance & 24/7 response
Preventative maintenance, on-call troubleshooting and rapid emergency response to restore operation and protect your assets.
Industries we serve
Built for facilities where every kilowatt counts
