Power supply with cost advantages

Block heating power plants (BHKW) generate electricity and heat at the same time – efficiently, decentralized and demand-oriented according to the principle of combined heat and power generation (KWK). Particularly at high annual times, these plants prove to be an economically attractive solution for industrial and municipal applications.

In addition, our range of services also includes electricity generation by means of gas, steam and ORC systems, so that we offer you comprehensive and tailor-made energy solutions from a single source.

Security of supplyhigh Total efficiency and short Amortization times are our goal.

Power Heat Cogeneration (KWK)

Block heating power plants (BHKW) generate electricity and heat – efficiently and directly at the site of use, according to the principle of the combined heat and power generation (KWK). Due to the significantly higher efficiency compared to the separate generation of electricity (e.g. in power plants) and heat (e.g. in conventional boilers), they enable a noticeable reduction in energy costs.
At the same time, KWK plants make an important contribution to climate protection: they reduce emissions of climate-relevant emissions and contribute to a responsible handling of energy resources.

The core competencies for AGO GmbH are KWK plants. With more than 200 installed KWK systems of different manufacturers and performance classes, we have collected an immense wealth of experience in recent years. We are very familiar with all common fuels – natural gas, fuel oil, waste gas, biogas and wood chips.

Power heat-cold coupling (KWKK)

In addition to electricity and heat, the heat generated is used in addition to air conditioning or cooling processes.
The energy used is thus optimally utilized, which reduces energy costs, reduces emissions and significantly increases efficiency. KWKK is particularly suitable for applications with simultaneous demand for electricity, heat and cold.

ORC systems

The Organic Rankine Cycle (abbreviation ORC) is a process for the operation of steam turbines with a different working medium than steam.

Organic liquids with a low evaporation temperature serve as working medium.

The ORC method (Organic Rankine Cycle) is used in particular when the existing temperature gradient between heat source and sink is too low for the economic operation of a classic steam turbine.

By using unused waste heat to date, an ORC system enables efficient, sustainable and environmentally friendly power generation. Thus, the overall efficiency of the energy used is significantly increased.

An essential advantage of this technology is its flexibility: waste heat can be used independently of its origin. This opens up a considerable potential for efficiency for numerous industrial processes, where sufficient waste heat is available at a suitable temperature level.

Benefits as a user of an ORC system

  • Electricity generation without additional use or fuels
  • Low cost of operation, maintenance and maintenance
  • Secure annual heat utilization
  • Significant increase in the overall efficiency of your plant
  • Optimised plant design for maximum net yield
  • residual heat utilization without contractual binding to third parties
  • Stable and calculable revenues due to high availability and stable operation
  • The electric current generated can be fed into the public network as required or used as an intrinsic current on site
  • EEG-compliant heat utilization

Range of services

  • AGO GmbH Energie + Anlagen has many years of experience with the use of ORC systems
  • AGO GmbH Energie + Anlagen is responsible for the complete planning and installation of the ORC plants in the power range of 50 kWel – 2,000 kWel

Gas turbines

Gas turbines generate electricity and heat in parallel as a gas engine block heating power plant. The fields of application for gas turbines are found in municipal utilities, industrial enterprises, and also in large-scale power plants.

The competencies of AGO GmbH lie in the planning and implementation of KWK projects with gas turbines for the provision of electricity and steam. In addition, we supply all necessary media for efficient operation of the entire plant.

AGO GmbH has many years of experience in repowering or integration of new plants into existing supply systems. We implement new gas turbine systems in various areas of energy supply.

Advantages of gas turbine plants

  • Flexible elements in the generation system are required due to changed frame conditions of the energy supply due to fluctuating power generation.
  • Gas turbines can contribute to network stabilization due to short start times. The hot exhaust gases with temperatures above 500 °C can be used for various applications, for example: steam generation
  • Hot or hot water production
  • Direct use in drying processes

Areas of application

  • Urban and energy sources for supplying heat to local and district heating networks, as well as power supply to the public network
  • Industrial production facilities with simultaneous demand for heat and electricity.


Range of services

  • Microgas turbines 200 – 1,000 kW (cascade interconnection)
  • Industrial gas turbines with waste heat boilers 1.5 – >20 MWel
  • Power plant applications >20 MW – 400 MW
  • AGO GmbH can take over the complete planning, construction and operation of plants up to 20 MWel for industrial plants and energy suppliers.
