Sample Tecogen InVerde CHP systemCA Funded CHP Module (InVerde)
Development Funded By Pier (CEC) and SoCal Gas Funds
Utilizes Technology From Related Commision Projects CERTS Microgrid Ultra-Low Emissions
Important Features Seamless Transfer in Outage Utility Friendly Certification
UL 1741 Emissions Compliant South
Coast Rule 1110.2 CE Mark for EU
Off-Grid System in NYC
Microgrid Feature11
Demonstrated in Recent NY Outage (Sandy)
400 Unit Condo Operated 5-6 Days Fully Powered
SMUD Headquarters Demo CEC Funded Completely
Seamless Transfer
Advanced Heat Pump Water Heater 12
Incorporates Two CA Funded Technologies Advanced Natural Gas
Engine (CEC Funded) Ultra-Low Emissions
(CEC/SoCal) Important Features
Rule 1110.2 Compliant Peak Efficiency >200% Just Introduced

Increasingly Important Feature
California Historically Difficult Market
Emissions/Tariff Issues/Interconnection
Positive Development Tecogen Emissions
Breakthrough Sept/Oct 20-Stop Road Show
Pollution Levels Comparable to Fuel Cells
Engine Emissions15
Advanced Emissions System16
2008 Tecogen Was Awarded Research Contract by California Energy Commision and SoCal Gas Goals
System Compliant with Latest SoCal (SCAQMD) Regulations for Distributed Generation (DG)
Back Story Several Years Earlier The District Had Exposed Shortcomings of
the After-treatment Systems for Natural Gas Engines In 2008 Issued New Regulation for DG Technologies (Rule
1110.2) Based on “CARB 2007”
Combined Heat in Power in CA Facing Uncertain Future Compliance of Engine-Base Systems Not Feasible Emerging Technologies Still Constrained by Cost, Other Shortcomings No Viable CHP Option in CA
Project Outcome17
Faced Intractable Problem Price of Very Low NOx is High CO Price of Low CO is High NOx
Final Stages of Project Produced Unexpected Breakthrough
Highly Positive Attributes Easily Commercialized Modest Cost/Design Impact No Significant Performance Penalty Appears Transferable to Other Engines
Before….Low NOx, but non-Compliant CO

19
After…Highly Compliant all Pollutants
Company Confidential
Additional Testing
