This presentation will discuss the addition of two new steam turbine generators (15MW) within the Main Power Plant at the University of Iowa. The two steam turbine generators included TG7, a 5 MW back-pressure unit, and TG8, a 10 MW tandem unit with a back-pressure side and condensing side. TG8 is unique and set up to operate in its most efficient mode, back-pressure during normal operation, and can operate in condensing mode for emergency backup power, utility curtailment, and during an electrical storm.
