Zeppelin Power Systems Solutions for Power & Heat
Turnkey power generation systems for the agricultural sector
Show all Solutions for Power & HeatCHP systems (BHKWs) generate heat and electricity through the combustion of fuels such as biogas or natural gas. In agriculture, they can generate electrical energy to power machinery, lighting, and other applications. The generators in our efficient CHP and cogeneration (KWK) systems provide electrical capacities ranging from 0.4 to 10 MW. Additionally, by combining multiple units, we can build systems that exceed 4.5 MW, offering scalable solutions for larger energy needs.
Combined heat and power plants (CHP plants)
CHP systems (BHKWs) can be operated with various fuels and offer an efficient way to meet the energy needs on the farm.
Combined heat and power (CHP)
Our power supply systems provide immediate backup energy during power outages and protect sensitive medical equipment from voltage fluctuations.

Zeppelin Power Systems Solutions for Power & Heat
Tailored photovoltaic solutions for your application

Sustainable power supply with photovoltaic systems
For installation on open land or rooftops: With our photovoltaic systems, you can generate eco-friendly electricity. This generated power can be used to operate agricultural machinery, power lighting systems, run irrigation systems, and power other electrical devices. Excess power can also be fed into the public grid, potentially leading to additional revenue.
Agri-photovoltaics even allows for the simultaneous use of agricultural land while generating eco-friendly electricity through specialized, translucent solar panels. This technology optimizes land usage.
Installing photovoltaic systems provides a sustainable and cost-efficient power supply while reducing environmental impact.

The importance of power supply for agriculture
Sustainable energy generation with combined heat and power (CHP) and block heat and power (BHKW) systems in agriculture
Both systems enable efficient resource use and contribute to the sustainability of agricultural operations. Through CHP (Combined Heat and Power) and cogeneration (KWK) systems, agricultural businesses can generate their electricity while simultaneously using the produced heat for various purposes, such as heating buildings, drying facilities, or livestock housing. This reduces dependence on external energy sources, lowers energy costs, and enhances operational reliability.
Additionally, CHP and cogeneration systems contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions by utilizing renewable energy sources such as biomass or biogas, thereby making an important contribution to environmental protection.
Stable power supply with emergency power systems
By using emergency generators and UPS systems, farmers can reduce their dependence on the public power supply and ensure continuous power availability.
Emergency power systems provide immediate power in the event of a grid outage. They can be sized to meet specific requirements based on need. Modern emergency generators are equipped with automatic transfer switches that activate immediately during a power failure and start the generator.
UPS systems provide immediate, uninterrupted power for critical devices. They bridge the time until the emergency generators are fully operational. UPS systems protect sensitive agricultural equipment from voltage fluctuations and power surges.
