Cogeneration Distributed Generation Proposal Oakland University Clean energy
Cogeneration / Distributed Generation Proposal Oakland University
Clean energy infrastructure to attract and educate the next generation of engineering students While becoming a national leader in sustainable campus design Zero capital cost accompanied by improved infrastructure AND cost savings
• Need to replace Boiler #4 • Need additional backup power • Propose 4. 6 MW cogeneration • Combine with 400 k. W micro-turbines in the new Engineering Center • 2. 1 MW wind turbine • Future 1 MW solar PV array • Combine with existing campus solar PV: 10 k. W on Student Apartments, 50 k. W on HHB, 40 k. W on Engineering Center
• No capital cost required, only energy cost savings • Third party ownership and PPA for wind ($1. 8 M savings over 20 years) • Third party lease for cogeneration ($28 M savings over 20 years) • $12 M investment of private funds • Significantly reduce carbon footprint • Attract more students Integrate into School of Engineering and Computer Science curriculum • New wind power course • New energy management course • Existing renewable energy course
