Summary

Chilled water is provided to nearly 20.0 million gross square feet of University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW) campus facilities plus several private customers by one of three utility plants; Charter Street, Walnut Street and West Campus Cogeneration. Since 2006, UW has added over 3.0 million gross square feet to the campus (a 15% increase), taxing an already built out chilled water production system. 

The presentation will provide a summary of the chilled water plant expansion project and a case study of economical dispatch techniques used in the summer of 2015 to mitigate electrical demand charges and lower overall energy costs.
