This presentation will examine a college switching its central plant from steam heating and chillers to a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) using its gas turbine as the prime mover. The paper will describe the historical operations prior to the 2008 installation, the environmental approval process, operations with the new system, the financial benefit of making electricity (purchase vs generation), exportation of electricity, state incentives for CHPs and the new operating procedures.
