  1. Is CHP Right for Me? New York State Energy R & D Authority Addressing Energy, Economic, and Environmental Priorities

  2. What is DG? What is CHP? Benefits of DG/CHP. Available technologies/equipment. Issues/hurdles for implementation. Overview

  3. Electric power generation close to the load. Small-scale relative to central-plants. Can use fossil fuel – natural gas, diesel, propane…, or renewable energy – solar, wind, landfill/digester gas… What is Distributed Generation?

  4. Premium Power – reliability, power quality. Backup Power – reliability. Peak Shaving – peak demand reduction. Base Load/CHP – cost reduction. DG Applications

  5. Combined Heat and Power (CHP) CHP: Onsite coincident production and use of electrical or mechanical power and thermal energy.

  6. DG/CHP Distributed Generation (DG) Commercial BP Steam Turbine Peak Shaving Micro-turbine Residential Fuel Cell Commercial IC Engine Boiler Power Combined Heat & Power (CHP) Heat

  7. Capacity constrained, high electric demands. High thermal (steam, hot water, direct heat, cooling) demands. Coincident thermal and electric demands. Extended operating hours. Access to fuels (byproducts, natural gas). Where Does DG/CHP Make Sense?

  8. Fuel “in” at one place, multiple benefits “out” yields financial savings. Diversification of energy supply sources yields greater reliability ====> Energy Security. Return on investment: DG/CHP ====> every day. Emergency generator ====> sporadically. Benefits of DG/CHP

  9. Fuel “in” at one place,multiple benefits “out” HEATING: Defroster. COOLING:Air Conditioner. POWER (Electrical): Alternator Generates DC Power. POWER (Locomotion): Mechanical (Rotary) Shaft Power.

  10. Fuel “in” at one place,multiple benefits “out”

  11. DG-CHP Generating Options Gas Turbines Internal Combustion Engines Micro-Turbines Fuel Cells Steam Turbines

  12. First: identify your electric & thermal needs. Next: match needs to a type of technology. Example: Engine - versus - Microturbine Electrical efficiency: Engine ~ 35%, Microturbine ~25% Byproduct heat: Engine high- & low-grade, Microturbine all high-grade Other considerations: familiarity of technology, dump radiator, emissions Finally: select an equipment vendor. Choice of Equipment

  13. Pre-engineered skid-mounted systems. A fully-integrated car produced on an assembly line is likely to be more reliable, less expensive, and “running” sooner than buying the individual parts and having someone assemble it for you. Likewise with CHP (not quite “plug-and-play” yet). Major efforts by USDOE recently. Evolving Equipment

  14. Interconnection with utility grid/tariffs. Synchronous - versus - Induction. Air permit. Footprint/available space. Financing. DG/CHP Issues/Hurdles

  23. CHP Energy Star Appliances Programmable Controls & Thermostats Energy Efficient Lighting Weatherization Do the Easy Things First

  24. Energy Audits which include ‘quick screen’ for CHP. Site-specific CHP feasibility studies. CHP hardware installation. NYSERDA Funding Programs

  25. There are various quick screening tools in development or use by NYSERDA, local gas utilities, & UMASS Amherst. The NYSERDA tools are typically incorporated into a more comprehensive energy efficient scope of work. Generally they analyze the cost-effectiveness of CHP to determine whether a building should pursue a detailed feasibility study. Quick Screening for CHP

  26. The Assisted Multifamily Program provides whole-building energy efficiency to low- to moderate-income properties of > 4 units. AMP provides a complete energy assessment, financial packaging including a NYSERDA grant, & construction oversight, in addition to 3-year monitoring & consumption analysis. R&D to Implementation - AMP

  27. CHP must be considered by the auditor as a program requirement using the quick screening tool. If the analysis warrants it, the cost for a feasibility study AND an installed CHP system are packaged into the overall deal. R&D to Implementation - AMP

  28. If a viable financial package cannot be reached, AMP will consider additional funding from the CHP PON administered by R&D, otherwise the costs are borne by the owner and AMP. AMP typically packages deals at a 4:1 ratio of owner investment to NYSERDA funds. R&D to Implementation - AMP

  29. Chart does not include Co-op City CHP project at a cost of $7.5 million with an SIR = 5.5. Current Projects

  30. Systems are sized to maximize needs & restrictions related to the electric peak & baseload as well as the daily peak DHW load using additional DHW storage if necessary. Estimated savings range from 9,232 to 52,002,000 kWh annually. Majority of systems are 30-60kW systems. Current Projects

  31. Auditor enters consumption & utility data into the tool. AMP Screening Tool

  32. Cost-effectiveness of the project based on electric load, DHW load, & selected CHP equipment. AMP Screening Tool

  33. The current AMP quick screening tool is being applied retroactively to some of our multifamily CHP projects to test its accuracy. A continuing analysis will be conducted in each AMP project to compare the tool’s projections to those of the eventual feasibility study and ultimately to actual performance of installed projects. Testing & Verification
